Although I usually gravitate towards washed coffees, the Colombia Jairo Arcila -  with its unique Natural EF2 processing method - has that complexity, balance and clarity typically found in a washed coffee. 

Recently, we were lucky enough to meet and collaborate with the incredible team at the Fitzroy Learning Network. Together with KeepCup and Specialist Espresso, we were thrilled to assist them with improving the coffee setup at their headquarters in Fitzroy. Last month, we were honoured to attend their Harmony Day event, and celebrate the cultural diversity of our community.

"What’s the first thing you think of when Brazil comes into conversation? Maybe it’s Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos and top players of Brazil’s 2002 winning FIFA World Cup side? Or perhaps it’s coffee?"

Ah Ethiopia! The birthplace of Arabica. Although we do not know the exact details of the discovery, one of my favourite legends involves dancing goats and a goatherd named Kaldi. A story for another time… now, let’s talk all things natural.

"With big toffee sweetness, vibrant lime acidity and a maple syrup texture, this coffee deserves your full attention." 

"To me, this coffee perfectly represents the reason why we do what we do, why all of us in the supply chain get out of bed each day and work hard to bring you an exceptional cup of coffee: it tastes good, and it does good."

"Make way, our Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelchele now comes in two! For a beautifully stark comparison of coffee processes, I’m honoured to introduce you to our washed process Chelchele."

"This amazing Indonesian is heavy on the blackcurrant, with lovely green apple acidity. It has jasmine on the nose, dark chocolate in the finish and a beautiful, soft buttery texture on the pallet." Andrew developed two recipes that highlight our Indonesian coffee perfectly for the warmer season. 

"What results with the Las Rocas is a brew that is buttery and resplendent with notes of caramel, cocoa. It has a wonderfully melon/orange peel acidity that really comes out as the brew cools down."

"The Ethiopia Konga Sede is typical of Yirgacheffe Ethiopians; sweet, balanced and delightfully complex." Barbara brewed our one of our star Ethiopians - the Konga Sede, through Chemex. Follow the link in our bio to read more!

"The Ethiopia Chelchele exemplifies the very best of its kind. It has a robust mouthfeel and creamy body, sweet notes of juicy berries, tangy peach and rich milk chocolate, with a delicate tea-like finish that had me draining my cup in no time."

We’re excited to launch our collaboration with made + more: a scented candle inspired by perennial favourite Daddy’s Girl blend. Think notes of caramel, milk chocolate and vanilla on a subtle base of roasted coffee. Sweet, soothing and absolutely delicious, this candle will be on the top of everyone’s Christmas wish list.
