Canton & Festive Blend

Canton Blend is a washed multi-origin coffee developed as a full-bodied all-rounder for the Hard Lines cafe. It balances body, sweetness and acidity for an easy, crowd-pleasing cup.

Bright and refreshing, this washed Ethiopian coffee is bursting with citrus and florals. Zesty lime, juicy apricot and soft caramel bring sweetness and balance, making for a smooth, elegant cup. Brew it as filter for a light, delicate expression or as espresso, where it shines black or through milk—think key lime pie. This lot brings together coffee grown by 560 smallholder farmers in Limu Woreda, Oromia. Freshly picked cherries are delivered to a central washing station to be sorted and processed. The farms are known locally as ‘gardens’: small plots where cultivated crops grow among the wild forest surrounding each farmer’s home. The fruit is removed soon after harvest, leaving the parchment coffee coated in sticky mucilage. It ferments in cement tanks for around 24 hours, loosening the mucilage before being washed through long channels with fresh water. Finally, the coffee is dried slowly in the sun on raised beds until it reaches around 10% moisture.

Our iconic Christmas coffee is back! The vibrant orange notes of a washed Colombian meet the rich, chocolatey depth of a natural El Salvador, coming together in a cup that captures the spirit of the season. This is a coffee to fuel you through the festive period. Brew a big pot to share with friends and family, or cosy up with a solo cuppa. Whatever your holiday traditions, this coffee is the perfect addition. This is a coffee everyone should have on their Christmas list!

A vibrant, fruit-forward coffee bursting with the sweet complexity of homemade preserves. La Conserva takes its name from the Spanish word for the thick, fruity, and syrupy preserves commonly made in Guatemala using local figs, berries, peaches, and manzanilla. This brew certainly lives up to its namesake. When our roastery team first cupped this lot, the tasting note on everyone's lips, was an unmistakable cherry jam. Expect a deeply jammy cup loaded with heaps of fruit. Bright bursts of tropical fruits are perfectly rounded out by a smooth vanilla sweetness, resulting in a vibrant cup that is beautifully complex yet perfectly balanced. This coffee hails from Huehuetenango (Nahuatl for “Place of the Ancients”), one of Guatemala’s three non-volcanic coffee regions. Thanks to warm, dry winds blowing in from Mexico, this area remains one of the highest and driest growing regions in the country.
