Bethania Javanica, Nicaragua

We’re excited to welcome back this wonderful coffee to the range, hailing from our favourite corner of Nicaragua, from our favourite sisters with our favourite profile. We are especially proud of the seventh year partnership we have with Martha and the team at Cafetos, and are as excited as ever to see their coffees return.

High in the Nicaraguan mountains, near the Honduran border, you'll find Finca El Recuerdo. It's a hidden gem, with lush jungle and loud birdsong that fills the air. Here, you’ll find Marcos and his family tending to their crop. It’s a special place to be.

For this year's seasonal coffee, we have this intensely sweet lot from Saffay, ripe with honey and apricot and a touch of cinnamon adding some spice to the cup. Though Christmas is a time of heavier food and drinks, we welcome the return of Ethiopian coffees to bring a little brightness to our palettes.

We spend a lot of time planning our coffee purchases, defining the criteria of what we need and scrutinising our options; it’s the most important aspect of what we do. But every now and then a coffee will present itself to us, out of nowhere, and beg to be bought. This bright & juicy washed lot from a promising young producer did just that when we stumbled upon it.
