Our flagship blend Altitude uses a selection of fresh crop single origins. The high proportion of natural-processed coffee creates its characteristic boozy qualities. A lighter roast style ensures fine, crisp acidity and sweetness.
Altitude Blend is made up of Brazilian, Rwandan and Ethiopian coffees, however these will vary throughout the year to ensure we are using as fresh a harvest as possible. The beans are roasted in batches and it takes about 15 minutes to reach the desired 'drop' temperature for this blend of 206 degrees.
Like grapes in wine, coffee beans come in many varietals or cultivars each with their own unique characteristics. In this blend we primally use a cultivar called Bourbon, an early mutation of the more ubiquitous Typica strain that is prized for its excellent flavour. However it does produce lower yields and is susceptible coffee leaf rust- for this reason it commands a high price.
Taste Notes: marzipan, chocolate, hazelnut
Our classic antipodean blend Campbell ST relies heavily on Colombian single-origins. A medium-light roast gives great body and sweetness, perfect for filter or espresso.
Campbell ST is made up of Brazilian, Colombian and Guatemalan coffees, however these will vary throughout the year to ensure we are using as fresh a harvest as possible.

Like grapes in wine, coffee beans come in many varietals or cultivars each with their own unique characteristics. In this blend we primarily use a cultivar called Caturra, a single gene mutation of the Bourbon strain, that causes the plant be much smaller. This in turn allows farmers to plant more densely and increase their yields.
Taste Notes: cacao, molasses, fudge

Like grapes in wine, coffee beans come in many varietals or cultivars each with their own unique characteristics. In this blend we primarily use a cultivar called Mundo Novo, a hybrid of a natural mutation that took place in East Timor, and an Ethiopian strain. The result is a coffee that is resistant to leaf rust, giving farmers more security.

Our Brazilian decaf starts with green beans from the area of Cerrado at around 1200 masl. Form there the green coffee goes to our partners at Swiss Water Process to be decaffeinated.
Their process starts with one philosophy: a passion for crafting amazing decaffeinated coffee. Starting with small batches, they remove caffeine in a gentle and 100% chemical-free way, that involves soaking, flushing and drying.
By using specialised roasting techniques that allow for the increased moisture content and reduced mass, we are able to create a finished coffee that has all of the flavour and only 0.1% caffeine.

Cooperativa Cafetalera Capucas Limitada (Cocafcal) or Capucas as they are better known, is situated on and around the Celaque mountain, which is the highest peak in Honduras. Celaque means ‘box of water’ in the local Lenca language, and the mountain is the source for many rivers and streams.
Capucas was founded in 1999 by Jose Omar Rodriguez and takes its name from the local town of Las Capucas. In 2004 Omar was chosen to become the general manager, a role he continues today.
The coffee is harvested at its optimum ripeness and handed in at the cooperative. It is then washed, dried in a solar dryer, and stored in parchment before being trucked to the port of Puerto Cortés. Capucas were the first in the country to build a facility to dry microlots in a large scale with solar dryers.
