Guilty Pleasure

Sale price£10.00
So you know when your friend who worked as a barista in a specialty coffee shop a few years back told you that blends were rubbish? Well they lied and what they really meant was, it's their guilty pleasure. You see, blends can be really, really good. The beauty is the consistency of a set profile and for this we've found one packed full of Chocolate & Caramel with big body and sweetness. The coffees that make up this profile - 'the blend' - will change and bring with them different nuance, but they'll still present these qualities that we love.
This iteration is a fantastic option with milk thanks to its big body and natural sweetness. It has notes like Milk Chocolate, Caramel, Stewed Fruits, and Butterscotch, and we think you'll love it especially as an espresso.
We serve this up in our shops and can attest to its consistency, sweetness and crowd-pleasing qualities!

Various Small-Scale Farms

This coffee is a blend of our two single origin espressos: Ilama and Montebello.

Ilama was produced by a group of small-scale farms that reside among the mountain forests of Santa Barbara. Ilama is made possible with the help of Benjamin Paz, winner of the Honduras Cup of Excellence 2024.

Montebello comes from the Las Hamacas and Sabanitas estates, where the owners are dedicated to being environmental and socially responsible with zero synthetic chemicals used for pest control, and they hire people from the indigenous reservation Marcelino Tascón, from the Embera community, located in Valparaiso municipality.

Honduras & Colombia

Our current blend comprises our Washed Honduras 'Ilama’ and Washed Colombia ‘Montebello’.

Santa Bárbara is a city and municipality located in western Honduras. It serves as the capital of the Santa Bárbara Department and is known for its rich history, colonial architecture, and coffee production. The area is surrounded by scenic mountains and rivers, making it a hub for agriculture, particularly coffee and cattle farming. Santa Bárbara's local culture blends indigenous traditions with Spanish influences, and it offers visitors a look into authentic Honduran life, with markets, festivals, and natural attractions nearby.

Montebello is a proud agricultural hub, boasting ancestral crops like coffee, avocado, and hydrangeas, as well as more modern staples like beans and maize. This coffee comes from the Las Hamacas and Sabanitas estates, where the owners are dedicated to being environmental and socially responsible with zero synthetic chemicals used for pest control, and they hire people from the indigenous reservation Marcelino Tascón, from the Embera community, located in Valparaiso municipality.

Washed

The washed coffee process, also known as the wet process, is a method of coffee production that emphasises the clarity and brightness of a coffee bean's flavor. In this process, the outer skin and pulp of the coffee cherry are removed before fermentation. The beans are then fermented in water for 12-48 hours to break down the remaining mucilage. After fermentation, they are thoroughly washed to remove any residue and then dried. This method results in a cleaner, more consistent flavour profile, highlighting the bean's natural acidity and fruity notes.
