  • Tastes Like

    Searching for the perfect morning brew? You’ve found it! This coffee begins with a creamy chocolate base, with a sprinkle of brown sugar for a touch of sweetness. To balance everything out, a refreshing fruity acidity in the form of juicy plum and orange zest makes this coffee truly irresistible.

  • How to Brew

    While this coffee tastes awesome in every device, our favourites are an espresso machine, Aeropress & moka pot.

  • Behind the Scenes

    These beans have been grown and processed exclusively by women in Huila, Colombia. This area in Pitalito and Saladoblanco y Timaná has around 40 farms on plots of land ranging from 1 to 5 hectares. They boast altitudes between 1500 and 1600m, which increased the quality of the Arabica due to slower growth rates.

    Led by the producer Ana Gloria Rodriguez, an all-female association has been formed to ensure their cultural and ancestral lands are protected whilst cultivating high-quality coffee. They also prioritise practising sustainable farming techniques to fight climate change and secure the future of the farming industry for years to come.

    By implementing these goals, they have been rewarded with more commercial partnerships. This has shown that their hard work is paying off and creates stability for their community.

    Once ripe, the cherries are hand-picked and transported to be floated. This is where the fruit is placed in large water tanks to separate the under-ripe fruit from the perfectly ripe. The riper, denser cherries will sink, while the less dense, under-ripe ones will float. These are skimmed off the top and then discarded.

    The remaining fruit is checked for defects, such as insect bites or mould, before being de-pulped and washed. The beans are then fermented for 12 hours before being moved to large drying beds to bask in the sun for up to 15 days until reaching the optimum moisture level of 10-12%.

  • What Does the Score Mean?

    Every coffee that we source and roast is speciality coffee. For a coffee to become speciality, it must obtain a quality score of 80 points or above. A process known as coffee cupping is used to find this score. No score, no name. Want to know more about the process of cupping? Well, it’s your lucky day! We’ve written a simple to follow guide all about coffee cupping.

  • Roasting

    During the roasting process, we will never ‘over roast’. When we roast, we use this as a way of showing off the flavours and aromas of the coffee rather than hiding them. If a coffee is roasted too dark, this can hide some of the natural flavours and aromas and create a coffee with a bitter and burnt taste.

    As the coffee we source is of high quality, there is nothing to hide. We can bring out the flavours rather than trying to hide them. All our coffees have a natural sweetness, rather than a burnt or bitter taste.

    The coffees we source are all unique from one another. For instance, the altitude the coffee is grown at makes a huge difference to the natural taste. Across the globe, the farmers we source our coffee beans from are constantly working hard to ensure they are giving us a great product. In honour of their work, we also work hard to produce a product our customers will love.

  • Why buy speciality coffee from us?

    Everyone who drinks speciality coffee from us is supporting coffee farmers in its country of origin.  We always pay between 30 and 150% more than the ‘going rate’ for our green coffee. We do this so the farmers get more revenue for their crops.  This results in the opportunity for better living conditions and an even better harvest next year.

    When it comes to the supply chain, we like to keep this as short as possible too. Keeping it short means that more can be given back to the workers and their farms.

    So keep it up. You really are helping.

  • Where does the name come from?
