Yuletide - Festive Blend

Ring the bells, Yuletide is here for the winter season!

We've decided to create Yuletide as a seasonal blend, paying homage to warming winter flavours, and celebrating some excellent speciality coffee in the process. Blended in mind of being a proper all-rounder that will awaken the senses when you smell the grinds on these dark mornings! We get bold chocolate notes, rounded off by a caramel like sweetness and hint of star anise.

Yuletide is a mix of two of our favourite origins; El Salvador and Uganda, bringing together an incredibly special mix to be celebrated across the Winter season. 

This is for limited time only so snap it up while you have the chance!

50% El Salvador - Los Naranjos

Los Naranjos is exclusively shade grown in a native forest environment allowing a contribution from local fauna and wildlife, in the soil regeneration and a unique microclimate for coffee to grow in. Well maintained shade grown coffee can develop much more complex and unique flavours due to it growing over a longer period of time, compared to non-shade grown.

In addition to maintaining soil health, work done at Los Naranjos also includes manual pruning and management of crop by hand, increasing labour and giving additional work, also avoiding pesticide and herbicide. All coffee cherries are picked by hand. 

Processed as a Double Anaerobic Natural. 

50% Uganda - Kalingwe

Our partnership with Agri Evolve continues with Kalingwe! 

Kalingwe is a small community based project in the foothills of the Rwenzori National Park - with 3 groups of small farms totalling 107 farmers. Agri Evolve provides funding through ACE2030 to these farmers, with training and support also included, and a newly built washing station for all farmers to use at Nyabirongo. 

Kalingwe is naturally processed, with all cherries sun dried after being hand picked and graded.
