Anoxic Washed, Sidra, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best brewed with Filter
3 key notes: [Wild Strawberry, Dragon fruit, Physalis]

We're tasting:
Intense white florals (reminding us of wild privet blossoms) and honeydew melon on the aroma. In the cup it’s super juicy - we’re getting wild/alpine strawberry, yellow dragon fruit and physalis, in an excellent example of the Sidra variety. As it cools that classic variety character comes out in the form of a sweet/savoury note - like cuore del vesuvio tomato & a hint of basil. Super nice - this’d be a banger iced

Traditional Washed, Tekisic, Light Roaster Influence - Best brewed with Filter/Espresso
3 key notes: [Plum Jam, Maple Pecan Plait, Syrupy]

Returning for a second season, we've once again got these wonderful Bourbon Tekisic (an El Salvadoran developed "improved" Bourbon cultivar ) lots from Cynthia Morales. Logistics and planning much better this year - these arrived in good time and have gone straight on the offer, and they are absolutely singing and in their prime

This fully washed Tekisic lot is just classic Bourbon through and through - nice rich stonefruits, big body, syrupy and sweet. The quality of this coffee is not in a screaming acidity or ethereal top notes - it's in how sweet and utterly comforting it is.

Traditional Washed, SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11, Batian. (AA Screensize), Medium-Light Roaster Influence - Best brewed with Espresso
3 key notes: [Grape, Blackcurrant Jam, Cola Bottles]

Honestly, we all love a Kenya espresso. We don't know why we haven't done one earlier. Yes, it's old school - but we're here for it Having hosted Sucafina for a fresh crop cupping of Kenya pre-shipment samples, this lot absolutely jumped off the table at us for its sweetness, with all the rich fruits and jammy notes we love in a a classic Kenya. Nicely rounded, we thought this would be a belter spro without needing screaming acids to be tuned down.

We're tasting:
Classic Kenya espresso aromatics - buttery stewed fruits & caramels, alongside brûléed grapefruit. In the cup it's syrupy and dense with purple grape juice, blackcurrant jam, dark honey and butter as the front notes, and a distinct cola-bottles esq note to the finish. Bright + rich, super nice. 

In Milk - Blackberry Panna cotta

raditional Washed, Primarily SL-28 & SL-34, with some Ruiru 11 & Batian, Lightest Roaster Influence - Best brewed with Filter
3 key notes: [Rhubarb, Gooseberry, Whitecurrant]

One of our favourite Kenyans of the 24/25 season returns in fine form, with a slightly different presentation this year - the old-school Kenya currant-tomato axis as a backbone but with a super bright, electrifying acidity and complex herbal/citrus notes.

We're tasting:
Bright & fresh aromatics - tomato leaf, orange zest and lemon verbena. In the cup it's super juicy and bright with classic Kenyan currant notes - we find whitecurrant as the prominent character alongside blackcurrant leaf, white grapefruit & a juicy gooseberry & poached rhubarb backbone. As it cools the acidity and aromatics remind us of a high energy zippy riesling.

Version 15 - 25% Burundi FW, 25% Colombia FW, 50% Brazil Nat. Medium to Heavy Roaster influence - solid milk espresso choice but great across all purposes.
3 key notes: [Milk Chocolate, Dark Fruits, Sweet]

Roasted to produce a solid “house espresso”, with distinct chocolate and darker fruit notes, an all-rounder suitable for milk, alt-milk and black coffees. Coffees seasonally sourced to ensure consistent core flavours year round.

We're returning to a run of Burundi and Rwanda again for the winter to spring season. There is no two ways about it - by engaging with meaningful purchase volumes from these countries, you will hit the odd potato. Running a higher ratio of Brazil will reduce it, and all the partners we purchase from have excellent sorting that reduce the incidence further. We recommend discarding any you find and giving a little extra purge, they should be very infrequent; using a tupperware to hold the discard grounds instead of an open knock box can be a useful trick.

We're tasting: Creamy milk chocolate and almond butter as the dominant notes, with muscovado & dried fruits - apricot & golden raisin, alongside
gentle baking spice. 

In milk: Butterscotch & saffron bun
