Uganda Mt Elgon Grade A
Creamy Chocolate, Dried Muscat Grapes, Blackberry, Orange Blossom The rich and fertile soils of the extinct volcano, Mount Elgon, are renowned for producing exceptional specialty coffees. Grown by smallholder farmers at high elevations and fully washed at local washing stations, these coffees are often compared with Kenyan profiles in both price and quality, showing remarkable clarity and structure in the cup. In espresso, we love the rich, earthy body and deep sweetness, while as filter the coffee reveals soft florals, gentle citrus brightness, and notes reminiscent of brown sugar and cocoa. This is a truly versatile coffee, binding beautifully with milk and non-dairy alternatives while still retaining its character. A balanced and expressive cup that rewards careful brewing in any style.

Ethiopia Sidamo Karamo
Dark Chocolate, Black Tea, Red Berries The Sidama region of southern Ethiopia is renowned for producing some of the country’s most prized coffees. Our recent visit focused on the washing stations operated by Karamo Coffee, offering insight into both traditional practices and innovative processing techniques. Leikun Zegeye leads a highly dedicated team of processors who take great pride in perfecting classic washed and natural coffees, while also pushing boundaries through the development of new and often experimental methods. Smallholder farmers in Sidama produce exceptionally high-quality coffee on plots typically ranging from 1–4 acres. These plots are largely dedicated to sustaining the household, with crops such as false banana (enset), cabbage, and space for chickens providing eggs and meat. Most families also keep one or two cows for milk. Coffee is grown as a cash crop to supplement family income and is carefully picked at peak ripeness before being delivered to the local washing station. Each Tuesday during the harvest season, the Ethiopian government issues a national coffee price, ensuring fair and consistent payment for farmers. Approximately 6kg of ripe coffee cherries are required to produce 1kg of green coffee. Smallholders often harvest weekly, sometimes delivering as little as 5–10kg of cherries per trip. The washing stations play a vital role in the local economy, providing steady employment throughout the harvest period. Teams work around the clock hand-sorting, pulping, washing, fermenting, and drying cherries as they arrive. It is at this stage that the inherent quality of the coffee is not only preserved but significantly enhanced. Leikun and his team are actively exploring advanced processing techniques, including carbonic maceration and fermentations incorporating ingredients such as bananas and cardamom. Coffees are dried in dark rooms to eliminate direct sunlight, while some fermentations are submerged in the local stream to maintain consistently cool temperatures. Karamo Coffee is a kaleidoscope of colour and energy — equal parts meticulous craftsmanship and playful experimentation — evoking a distinct Charlie and the Chocolate Factory atmosphere, where curiosity and precision meet.

Mexico Kassandra SHG RFA
Fresh Berries / Malt / Butterscotch Strictly high grown. Rainforest alliance. Finca Kassandra was originally a cattle station before coffee was first planted in 1990. With an average annual temperature of 22°C and generous rainfall between 1,400–2,000mm, the farm’s climate proved ideal for producing high-quality coffee. By 2003, the estate had expanded sufficiently to construct its own dry mill, and since then all coffee has been fully processed on-site — ensuring careful quality control at every stage. The Rivas family, who own and manage the farm, are deeply committed to environmental stewardship. They have set aside 27 hectares of native rainforest to protect local birdlife and wildlife, and an extensive tree-planting programme continues across the plantation. These initiatives not only support biodiversity but also enhance the long-term health and productivity of the coffee. The clarity and character of Finca Kassandra’s coffee reflect both the natural beauty of the estate and the dedication of the Rivas family.
