How does it work?
We curate our coffees into three distinct categories and price points. We invite you to choose your usual coffee, explore what coffee can taste like with a curious subscription or brew up some impossibly good coffee.
When will I get my coffee?
The cutoff point for orders will be the 25th of each month. Deliveries will commence in the first week of every month. Please choose your bag size at the checkout stage.
USUAL
Sometimes you just need coffee and fast, but it needs
to be good. This is it.
What can usual customers expect from this subscription?
CURIOUS
Why does my coffee taste like this?
There are so many variables and hotly debated answers to this question. For those peeking above the ramparts here
is where we will attempt to bring you a selection of coffees where farmers and producers use both time honoured and
innovative new techniques to bring out a wide and exciting range of flavours.
What is anerobic fermentation?
All fermentations are by definition anerobic. This can be easily thought of
as a low oxygen environment. Long fermentations, such as demonstrated
here, require tight controls over
conditions to ensure a quality product.
The chemical breakdown of the yeast
and bacteria over such a long time can lead to incredible cup qualities, with
often unusual and clear flavour notes.
IMPOSSIBLE
Ready to brew up some impossible coffee?
Not every coffee makes it past the cupping table. What makes a coffee great? We've got some ideas. These
coffees simply represent the best coffee that we can find. Alejandras innovative thermal shock technique employed
at Zarza farm is just part of what makes this coffee so special.

a living,since there would already be 3 mouths to feed.
Not wanting to stay at home without
doing anything, she decided to support

WHY SUPPORTING WOMEN IN COFFEE MATTERS
Would you do 70% of the work for 20% of the money?
In 2018 research carried out by the International Coffee Organisation showed that women have systematically lower access to resources, such as land, credit and information, than men.
We believe that the empowerement of women in the coffee supply chain will greatly improve gender equality and play a significant role in securing the future of coffee.
