We get our coffee beans from here almost exclusively and they are always great quality. I really love that we have the option to bring reusable containers to transport the beans home too.

Popped in for some coffee for my espresso machine as my grinder had packed up. Great service and AMAZING tasting Indigo mountain Myanmar ground perfectly for espresso. Will be back for sure for my coffee beans in the future.

Fantastic tasting coffee beans. Have tried their Colombian Aguas Claras, as well as the Brazilian and their special Christmas blend. Great service, delivered quickly and at a good price.

Great little insight into both the coffee process and how to get the best out of the beans with a variety of filter methods, great independent roastery 👍

Amazing coffee and fantastic staff. Always had incredible service, love the little personal touch with every order!

About this coffee

Caturra Chiroso is a relatively lesser-known variety. “Chiroso” coming from the slang word in Colombia for something that is slightly elongated. And more mystifying, Caturra Chiroso has been found to more genetically linked to Ethiopian landrace varieties rather than Caturra. But how that mutation happened is still unclear.

Recently, this mysterious variety has been making itself known for its high yields and desirable sensory profiles. With higher qualities being up there with other competition worthy varieties with characteristics of being well structured, floral and silky. We just had to buy it in.

As with all high-grade fully washed coffees, only the ripest cherries are picked before being de-pulped. The mucilage is then washed before going into a 14 hour controlled fermentation process to enhance their sweetness and acidity. Lastly, the beans are sun dried on raised beds for 10-12 days.

A multi-dimensional cup with notes of juicy blackcurrant. More lime zesty as an espresso, and green apple as a filter. A long toffee finish and jasmine florals on the nose.
