It’s hard to believe that it has been three months since we introduced our Passport blend. The seasonal blend has been introduced and scrapped numerous times over the years, but with this new release it looks like it is here to stay. I would like to share with you the process that goes into this blend development, as Passport is a very simple blend. There are a number of ways this process can be approached. Firstly is finding amazing beans that we taste and decide we have to use. We have a large number of samples come through our roastery...

This week we run the ever popular Santa Quiteria from Brazil for espresso. This is the first of the coffees through that I bought on my trip this year. What I like about this coffee is the big, rich body with fresh tobacco notes that are elegant enough to be a standout espresso, but big enough to really cut through milk. I have also roasted the Ethiopian Karote as an espresso roast again. This coffee never ceases to amaze with its full chocolatey body, yet delicate floral aromas and fruity sweetness. Because you are all a greedy bunch, and that’s...

Hi All, I'm very excited as this week we have the first of the coffee I bought on this years trip to Brazil. Hacienda Santa Quiteria was a great farm at the end of a city street. It was quiet surreal as there was no long drive on a dirt road to get there, it was just like turning into somebodys driveway. This is the first of the coffee we bought from them an it is full and nutty with hints of fresh tobacco leaves.  We also have an exciting Guatemalan that we have been working on, its a blend but I...

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new blend, Passport. This blend is a seasonal blend, in every sense of the word. We come across some amazing beans as coffee professionals, and not all of them are produced in quantities that allow us to use them throughout the year.  However we still want to utilise them in blends. As well as this, we don't all like drinking the same coffee all year around. In the scorching summer months, we look for light, refreshing coffees, and in the coldest depth of winter it's all about comfort coffee. Passport is...
