Summer 25/26

Ethiopia / Chelbesa

Producer: Kubi Smallholders
Origin: Ethiopia / Yirgacheffe, Kubi

Altitude: 11950 - 2200 MASL
Tasting: Blue and Black Berries, Cocoa, Plum
Process: Red Honey

Get ready for an Ethiopian coffee that breaks the mold! This rare Red Honey processed lot comes from the Kubu washing station in the high-altitude region of Yirgacheffe (1950 - 2200 MASL). The honey process is unusual in Ethiopia, and it gives this coffee an exceptional complexity, combining the sweetness and fuller, creamier mouthfeel of a natural coffee with the clarity of a washed coffee.

The secret to this "Red Honey" is a slow, shaded drying process. After the hand-picked, ripe cherries are selected (even using a refractometer to measure sugar content!), the outer skin is removed, but most of the sticky mucilage—the "honey"—is left to dry on the bean. They are then laid on African raised beds and turned frequently over 14-18 days until the moisture content is just right.

El Salvador / Finca Himalaya

Producer: Mauricio Salaverria
Origin: El Salvador / Apaneca Ataco, Ahuachapan

Altitude: 1500 m
Tasting: Juicy Apricot, Raspberry, Strawberry
Process: Supernatural

Ready for a coffee that's truly Supernatural? This wild, fruity experience comes from Finca Himalaya in El Salvador, a farm with a serious history—coffee has been grown here since 1875! The owner, Mauricio Salaverria (a fifth-generation producer!), is a true innovator who actually created the "Supersonic" Supernatural process back in 2014.

His special technique involves stacking the picked and hand-sorted cherries into thick piles to build up the temperature and intensify those incredible flavours. They're turned every few hours, then spend days being thinned out during the day and "cocooned" in plastic sheets at night! This meticulous, controlled process is what unleashes the intense fruity profile that Finca Himalaya is famous for.

Summer 25/26

Kenya / Thageini Karibu

Producer: Aguthi Farmer’s Co-operative Society
Origin: Kenya, Thageini Karibu

Altitude: 1650 - 1800 m
Tasting: Boozy Cranberry, Rose, Clove
Process: Supernatural

Karibu means 'welcome', and this lot is a wonderful introduction to the innovative processing work done by the Aguthi Farmer's Co-operative Society. The Thageini wet mill, one of four operated by the Society, has around 450 member producers. The Society provides training and workshops to members on techniques for farm management, picking, sorting, and agronomy.

This unique coffee is processed using the 'Supernatural' method, resulting in an intense burst of berry flavours. Early harvest cherries are hand-sorted and then laid on raised beds in cocoons for three days to drive flavour intensity. They are then unwrapped and spread to dry over about 25 days, reducing the moisture content to 10-12%.

Summer Lovin'

Producer: Glee Master Brewers

Summer Lovin’ is our sun-soaked seasonal blend — bright, breezy, and impossible not to smile at. Our Glee Master Brewers have matched a lively washed Ethiopian with a creamy natural Colombian to create a cup that feels like warm afternoons and golden-hour glow.

It’s playful, velvety, and made for slow summer mornings, picnic brews, or those balmy evenings when you want something a little indulgent but still refreshingly light.

Sip, smile, repeat.
