The Rich Roast is our answer for anyone looking for a more traditional style of coffee. Darker coffee gets a bit of a bad reputation in the speciality coffee world, which we think is a real shame.

Planadas, Tolima

With fertile volcanic soil, and altitudes up to 2,000 metres above sea level, it's a great place to grow coffee.

Bold & Rich

From the Great Taste Award judges: "Some brightness in the cup with a thick consistent crema. There are biscuity undertones and the coffee delivers a dark chocolate bitterness and caramelised sugar finish. There's still some brightness to finish. A really good example of a traditional dark roast."

Washed

Ripe coffee cherries are picked, and sorted to remove any defects. They then pass through a depulper, where the felsh of the cherry is removed, leaving behind a sticky mucilage layer. Next, the beans are fermented, and the mucilage layer breaks down, leaving a clean coffee bean behind. The beans are then carefully dried, resulting in a clean-tasting coffee with natural sweetness and complexity.
