Brazil Arara
Omni Roast

Sidney Portilho must be no unknown name to those who’ve been with us for a while. We love his consistent quality and experimental edge, providing us with both classically profiled pulped natural lots and funk bombs like this anaerobic Arara. A variety you seem to see a lot from Brazilian farmers nowadays.

The specialty fanatics among us who've been around for a while know: we were really into that fruity cup profile with blueberries and citric notes. As the industry evolved into what makes it so lovable today, so did experimental processing methods: from Natural, to Anaerobic, to Thermal Shock, co-fermentation and what not!? The fact that farmers from small villages such as Bruselas are coming up with innovative processing methods you’d think only lab technicians could pull off, shows us what makes coffee like this special. A delicious example of how co-fermentation can be both balanced and elegant.

After last year’s success of the first decaf in our Liquid Diamond range, we knew we couldn’t settle for less, so we searched day and night for a partner to make it happen again. This coffee has been so loved that tracking it down felt more like a treasure hunt than a sourcing job. Wilton’s coffees are so distinct you could spot them blindfolded. His signature shines through even after sugarcane decaffeination, leaving a cup that’s anything but “just decaf.” So go ahead, have that extra cup before bed, but be careful not to brew it all More info bellow

Colombia Papayo
Omni Roast

Another great coffee by Colombian cuptasters champion Marlon Rojas, who used bits of passionfruit and cholupa in a complex co-fermentation process to create a bursting yet gentle palette of orange Blossom, passionfruit and Mandarin. This variety gets its name from the papaya-like shape of the coffee cherry, which makes it harder for pests like 'broca' to reach the core, a natural defense mechanism developed through mutation. Similar to other upcoming varieties like Pink Bourbon and Ombligon, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Papayo on more competition stages in the coming years.

Bright and tropical, delivering a clean yet festive punch that we absolutely love. Grown by Mathias Manghy and his son Johel at Hacienda San Isidro, it has been a beloved part of our lineup for several years. Each harvest brings remarkable consistency in quality and flavor, thanks to the ideal climate, rich soil, perfect altitude, and the meticulous care taken during picking and processing. The anaerobic processing adds a unique depth to this already vibrant typica.

Decaf
DecafOmni Roast

Decaffeination of coffee takes place after the (green) coffee is fully processed by the producer and before it enters our roastery. Most common and traditionally, decaffeination takes place by using synthetic chemical solvents. Which is effective but less favourable because of the environmental impact. This decaf is locally decaffeinated in Colombia following the Sugar Cane process method. The Sugar Cane Process uses a natural by-produce from sugar cane (fermented molasses) as a solvent to extract caffeine. Sugar cane is an important crop growing in the area which makes it an ideal choice for decaffeination of local grown coffee. How Sugar Cane decaffeination works Coffee beans are steamed for 30 minutes to open and enlarge cells They are then rinsed for 10 hours with an EA (Ethyl Acetate) solvent derived from Sugar Cane. This removes the caffeine particles within the bean The solvent is drained away Beans are steamed again to remove any residual solvent Finally they are dried to reach the original moisture content With selecting high quality beans from Finca El Vergel, locally decaffeinated at origine and without synthetic chemicals, we believe this decaf is a great alternative to your regular coffee. Great in taste and with care of the environment

High-grown & full of character Most Sidama coffees grow between 1,800 and 2,200 masl, but this lot is grown at an impressive 2,350 masl. That extreme altitude means slower cherry development and heightened flavor complexity. Expect funky acidity and the layered profile African coffees are so celebrated for. Grown by 500 smallholder farmers in Bona Zuria, this lot captures character high-altitude Ethiopian coffees can deliver.

Profile: Floral, Stonefruit, Orange (44 collaborating Farmers of Daanisa farmers’ group) The connection between this coffee's name and its high level of fruitiness has everything to do with the native, umbrella-shaped tree named Daanisa, which covers most of the coffee trees in this region from direct sunlight. Creating its notable floral flavors with sweet stonefruit.

Twice a year, new lots from Indonesia find their way to us. Previously, sold out in no time & we couldn’t resist bringing back this lot from the Rukun Saudara Cooperative. Their Co-op is located in the area of Kerinci Jambi on the Island of Sumatra. Indonesia has a strong coffee production heritage and a thriving coffee consumption culture, which has led to a dynamic wave of innovation within coffee production. Something definitely noticeable in this cup; It combines all the best characteristics of Indonesian beans with notes of spices, pleasant acidity, and a touch of tropical fruitiness. Loved by many of you and an absolute favourite among our team too.
