We continue to search for the best seasonal coffees to make our classic house espresso blend. Quality and consistency are at the forefront of our minds when searching for components and we’re happy to announce our new blend is no exception. 

This season’s blend highlights a natural Brazil grown along the mountain range of ‘Serra de Mantiquiera’ in the south of the Minas Gerais state. The Mantiquiera de Minas region boasts a century-old tradition of exceptional coffee production and is recognised as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This coffee was grown by Fairtrade-certified producers, of which 89% are smallholder farms, represented by Ascarive Cooperative. Fairtrade has allowed Ascarive to support its small-scale farmers in obtaining fairer prices for their coffees, producing sustainably and improving their coffee quality. We have featured eighty percent of this natural Brazil for its prominent sweetness.

The remaining twenty per cent of our carefully crafted blend consists of a washed process coffee grown in the region of Tolima in Colombia. This lot of coffee is the work of 50 producers living in the towns of San Juan de la China, Anzoátegui, and Santa Isabel. They are supported by Cafisur, a cooperative that represents producers from the Tolima coffee-growing region and provides them with agricultural support and opportunities for equitable prices. 

Our idea of a blend is a way to create something that is greater than its parts alone. Our natural Brazil provides heaps of sweetness and body while our washed Colombian brings a hint of gentle fruit acidity. These two come together beautifully to form our blend; a rich yet balanced flavour profile, showcasing notes of roasted hazelnut, chocolate orange and vanilla.
