Ebert Huaman, Peru

Back in 2025 we had the pleasure of meeting David and the rest of the Flores family on their farm, Finca El Morito, high in the mountains of Cajamarca in the town of El Diamante. David has taken over running of the family's farms from his father, Faustino, a second generation coffee farmer, and through his management has transformed their production into some of Peru's finest.

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.

This vibrant but complex coffee is from the Albir sisters own farm, Finca Bethania. This lot is one of our favourites from this year’s harvest; expect boozy cherry liquor, rich and indulgent dark chocolate, all balanced by a strawberry-like acidity. We are delighted to see this exceptional coffee return for another year.

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.
