Big Beans, Bold Flavour
All our coffee is “arabica” coffee, but within that species there are many varieties in existence. Maragogype – or “Elephant” – is one of the most recognisable: the beans are famously massive and prized for their unique flavour.

Monsoon in a Coffee Cup
Monsoon Malabar’s unique process of exposure was discovered by chance back in the 16th century, as spice ships transported the beans back across the seas to Europe. Stored deep within the hold, the damp, humid conditions caused the beans to swell, neutralising any acidity and producing a deep, heavy sweetness – an immediate hit with Europeans.

One of India’s finest coffees, Monsoon Malabar is also one of the best-loved coffees in our range.

Widely acclaimed as one of the world’s best coffees, Jamaica Blue Mountain is also among the rarest – with an annual yield equalling approximately 0.1% of the coffee produced by Colombia!

The Perfect Balance
The Santos coffee beans are grown on the rolling plains of Southern Brazil, yielding dark flavours of baking chocolate and stewed fruit, while beans sourced from the humid volcanic slopes of the Ijen Plateau on the island of Java add a lighter, creamier sweetness with just the right acidity. With its heady aroma and high-roasted boldness, we like to think this coffee has something of the mystery of Indonesia, and a touch of the party spirit of Brazil…
