COFFEE OF THE MONTH: MARCH
We’re showcasing this juicy, syrupy sweet coffee from Burundi. It is grown in the Bubanza region, which is located in the northwest of the country. At an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level, the coffee plants in this region benefit from a cooler climate and nutrient-rich soil. The combination of this unique terroir and the […]
FIKA: SUMMER EDITION
In January, fika really just self-actualises. Those hours that throughout the year were spirited away by ear specialist appointments, school drop offs, key indication officers and efficiency consultant meetings, are now gaping holes in your diary, what with the ear specialist on holiday in Mallorca, school out for summer, and the key indication officers efficiency […]
FIKA: PARTY TIME
A reliable source (a customer who’s friend read something on the internet) told me that La Nina is departing earlier than expected. Slinking away from the party like a trollied wedding guest who just embarrassed themselves on the dance floor. We look forward to seeing the back of you Ms Nina. In celebration of this […]
COFFEE OF OCTOBER : COLOMBIA : NATURAL : RUM AGED

The whole semi-dried cherries are then put into grain-pro bags for a further 50 hrs to continue to ferment. And for the finale the dried coffee […]

FIKA: AUGUST EDIITON
We did a little spotlight on the Yemeni coffee scene this month (check it out here) and I thought, since the middle eastern, hot dusty vibe is one of my all time favourite wavelengths, I’ll just roll it on into this month’s fika too. It’s tasty, and it’s warm. Eat. The Middle East has delightfully […]
COSTA RICA : COFFEE OF AUGUST
The Santuario project have been innovators in coffee processing. This lot was soaked in a juice made from coffee cherries before pulping, a process which is said to jump start the flavour development, it is then pulped retaining 65% of the pectin fruit layer and then dried (black honey process). If this wasn’t unique enough […]
THE MAGICAL INDUSTRIAL COFFEE SHOP
A good Industrial estate is a magical place. I’m not exaggerating when I compare it to Wonderland on the other end of the rabbit hole, or even more fittingly, Hogwarts. From the outside, (the muggle) perspective, the industrial estate seems a bland, grey, indistinct, characterless conglomerate where the only colour and movement comes from hi-vis […]
