The Perfect Coffee

This coffee is rich and sweet with flavours of citrus and cola nut.

Varietal: Bourbon

Processing: Washed

Finca El Cedro is a small, family-run farm in El Huabo, San Ignacio, Peru, owned by Orlando Jimenez and Artemisa García Huaman, who work alongside their children, Leiser and Darwin. The family has long focused on specialty coffee, using careful lot separation and organic farming methods. Their 5-hectare farm sits at 1,825 meters above sea level in a region known for producing high-quality, distinctive coffees.

This lot is 100% Bourbon and is fully washed to highlight its clarity and sweetness. Cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness and pulped the same day, then fermented in tile-lined tanks. After washing, the beans are dried on raised beds inside a solar hoop house, where they are regularly turned to ensure even drying and consistent quality.

The result is a sweet and well-balanced coffee, reflecting both the Bourbon variety and the careful cultivation at Finca El Cedro.

Varietal: Bourbon | Caturra Amarillo

Processing: Washed

This coffee comes from Café Garmas, a small family farm in El Huabo, San Ignacio, Peru. It’s run by husband-and-wife team Maximiliano García and Esperanza Armijos, who share every part of the work equally. After years with Cenfrocafe—one of Peru’s major cooperatives—they founded their own farm in 2018 with a focus on quality and sustainability. Sitting at 1,755 metres above sea level, the farm’s warm, dry climate and remote mountain setting create ideal conditions for distinctive, high-scoring coffees.

This year we have bought two separate lots from Cafe Garmas. The first is 100% Bourbon, the second is 100% Caturra Amarillo (yellow). Both are classic Arabica varieties known for their sweetness and balance. The cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness, fermented in lime-washed tanks, then washed and dried in thin layers on tarps. The beans are carefully turned throughout the process to ensure even drying and a clean, consistent cup.

Expect a sweet, elegant and balanced coffee with gentle acidity and a smooth body.

Varietal: Caturra | Castillo | Colombia

Processing: Washed | EA Decaf

This coffee comes from the Huila region of Colombia, which is well- known for producing specialty coffee. Its unique location between the Central and Eastern Andes boasts ideal conditions for growing complex, high-quality coffees.

The cherries are carefully harvested when ripe, pulped, dry-fermented, then washed with fresh water. The clean parchment is then transferred for drying. The method of decaffeination used for this coffee is called the Ethyl Acetate (EA) method, which selectively removes caffeine while preserving the coffee’s natural character. EA is an occurring ester (present in bananas and also as a by-product of sugar cane processing) that is used as a solvent to bond with and remove caffeine from green coffee. First, the coffee is sorted and steamed for 30 minutes under low pressure in order to open the coffee seeds’ pores and prepare them for decaffeination. The coffee is then placed in a solution of water and EA, where the EA bonds with the caffeine inside the seeds. The tank is drained and re-filled repeatedly over the course of eight hours until caffeine is no longer detected. The seeds are steamed once more to remove any traces of EA.

The resulting coffee is clean, sweet and retains the profile of coffees from the Huila region, pleasingly uninhibited by the EA process.

Varietal: SL28 | SL34

Processing: Washed

This coffee comes from Mbuti Farm, a small estate in Kirinyaga County, Central Kenya, owned by Ngaari Mwangi. Established in 1997, the farm was one of the first in the region to have its own washing station, allowing Ngaari full control over processing and traceability. Situated near Njukiini Forest at 1,750 meters above sea level, the farm benefits from rich soils and a climate well-suited to producing high-quality coffee.

The cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness and pulped on-site, then fermented for 12–24 hours in small tanks before being washed with fresh stream water to remove all remaining mucilage. The beans are dried on raised beds in the sun for 7–15 days, with regular turning to ensure even drying and to preserve the coffee’s clarity and quality.

The cup is bright, vibrant, and juicy, with the classic Kenyan profile. The meticulous attention to processing and sustainable cultivation at Mbuti Farm results in a coffee that truly showcases the elegance and complexity of a classic Kenyan AA Grade coffee.

Varietal: Batian | Ruiru 11 | SL28 | SL34

Processing: Washed

This coffee comes from Kieni Factory, a washing station near Karatina in Nyeri County, Kenya, managed by the Mugaga Farmers’ Co-operative Society. Around 1,000 small-holder farmers deliver cherries here, with each farmer typically managing about 200 trees. The co-operative supports its members with resources to improve yields and encourages participation from women and young people, helping ensure that high-quality coffee can be produced sustainably across the region. The farm sits between 1,650 and 1,850 meters above sea level, an ideal environment for the famed Kenyan varieties SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11.

The cherries are hand-picked when ripe and carefully sorted to remove any damaged or under-ripe fruit. They are then pulped using disc pulpers, washed then fermented under water for 16–24 hours. The coffee is then rinsed and soaked for another 24 hours before being dried on raised beds. During drying, the beans are regularly turned and protected from excessive heat and rain, ensuring even drying and consistent quality.

The resulting cup is bright, clean, and complex. The meticulous care and expertise of the farmers and co-operative staff, deliver a coffee that showcases the best of Nyeri County.

Brazil - Minas Gerais - Sul de Minas

The South of Minas Gerais (Sul de Minas) is responsible for 30% of Brazil’s total Arabica coffee production. The relatively flat landscape combined with high minimum wages has led most farms to opt for mechanical harvesting over selective hand-picking.

The majority of coffee in Brazil is processed naturally, where the fruit dries on the tree. The mechanical harvesters remove the ripe and dried fruit from the tree and transport it to concrete patios where the coffee is laid out to dry. Many coffee estates will use mechanical driers to finish the drying process evenly and accurately. State of the art colour sorting and density grading equipment enable high quality coffee by removing any discoloured, unhealthy or defective coffee beans.

The natural process makes this coffee rich, sweet and nutty with low acidity.
