Ethical, traceable sourcing

We publish all the sourcing information (variety, process, region, story, importer, and more) that our importers share and give us permission to—both for single origins and blend components.

This helps us talk confidently about the quality and background of our product, and it helps you know exactly what you’re buying.

Fresh harvest components

Our blends’ name and flavour profile stay consistent all year round. Their components (the single origins that make the final blend product) change ~2-3 times per year.

This is because we only use relatively small-sized coffee lots from the latest harvest and from independent small-scale producers. When one origin comes to an end, we replace it with another of similar characteristics.

Each espresso blend component is made transparent and linked in the product’s description.

Roasted for espresso (best enjoyed black or with milk)

Roast style: espresso. Leaning to the darker side of the spectrum, but still considered lighter when compared to other blends in the market.

Blend style: post-roast. The different single origins (components) are roasted separately, then mixed to create the final blend.

Designed for espresso brewing. Best enjoyed black or with milk (cow or alternative).

Best brewed within days 10–42 post-roast

The ‘fresh is best’ saying doesn’t apply to coffee (contrary to popular belief). Waiting before opening and brewing your bag of whole coffee beans helps develop peak flavour and acidity.

But heads up: if you buy pre-ground coffee, brew it as soon as possible.
