Expect notes of Blackcurrant, Almond, Milk Chocolate

Carbon negative coffee



Another year, another cup worth raising. To celebrate our 8th Birthday, we've brought together two long-standing partnerships in one bag. Urban Family's Brazil Capivara, from Rio Brilhante in Minas Gerais, lays down a comforting foundation of milk chocolate and toasted almond. Burundi Ninga, from Long Miles' washing station in Kayanza, a lot we return to year after year, lifts the cup with a bright burst of blackcurrant. Both lots are naturally processed, and the blend pours rounded and velvety, fruit-forward yet familiar. A celebration of the producers, the seasons, and another year shared with you.

Kevin D. ★★★★★

The natural process really lets both the Brazilian and Burundian sides shine through, each cup switching up its character as it cools. Brewed it as a pour-over this morning and the body was thick and sweet without any harshness. Definitely stocking up before it's gone.

Emma ★★★★★

The mix of Brazilian and Burundian beans makes for a surprisingly balanced cup—each morning I’m catching something different, from berry notes to a deeper, earthier finish. The natural process gives it a smooth, almost syrupy body that works great black. I’ve already reordered, which says it all.

Ella ★★★★★

The natural process really shines through in this blend — sweet, fruity, and clean from the first sip. I brewed a pour-over and the cup had a lovely syrupy body that lasted as it cooled. The mixed cultivar from both Minas Gerais and Kayanza gives it a complexity I wasn't expecting for the price.
