Summer Filter Blend
Summer! What we’ve all been waiting for. A juicy fruit bomb, easy drinking summer vibes.
A 50/50 blend of Colombia and Ethiopia, this time, both washed for maximum, clean tropical juice! The Colombian component is a light, juicy and fruit driven from an exceptional group of small producers in La Plata, Huila, sourced and blended by the inimitable Pergamino Coffee. A small, very high altitude region in Huila bordering Inza, Cauca. Both famed regions for producing exceptional, fruit forward coffees. The Ethiopian component is grown and processed by Kayon Mountain farm. A large organic estate regularly producing some of our favourite coffee to come out of Ethiopia. We have bought it before and we will buy it again, for a simple reason; it’s delicious! Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family employ 25 full time employees and hundreds of seasonal staff at comparatively high wages to compete with the surrounding mining industry. Although a conflicting narrative, another small insight into the influential and ultimately ethical role that coffee production can play in our developing world. The positive influence these producers can have on the environment and economy is the reason we continue to be so invested in coffee, its people and production!
In the cup it tastes of juicy yellow fruit, citrus and chocolatey, toffee praline, with an elegant tea-like body and florals. It’s going to be exceptional black, and a fruity cup of tea with milk. THE BEST.
