Limited Release Coffees
Our Limited Release coffees are some of the best that coffee has to offer. Seasonal, fresh and only here for a short time. When they’re gone, that’s it – no restocks.
We source these coffees through our existing supply chain wherever we can. That might mean selecting a distinctive coffee from a producer whose work also shapes our core range. We believe that buying a wide variety of qualities from the same producer or group can help farmers diversify their income and increase long-term value.
Sometimes it’s a farmer we’ve known for years playing with a new process. Sometimes it’s a coffee that smacks you in the face with flavour and needs its own spotlight. Or sometimes it’s from a producer we’ve not worked with before doing incredible work we want to support and shout about. Either way, if it tastes wild, it gets the Limited Release stamp.
These coffees are rare for a reason and they’re your chance to taste how variety, process and place come together to create something you won’t find anywhere else.
We roast these coffees so you can brew them however you like, though they really come alive as filter or as a carefully dialled-in espresso.
Peru Eusebio Arteaga
An outstanding, delicate Peruvian coffee. Expect notes of crisp white grape, pear sweetness and a creamy macadamia finish.
Eusebio Arteaga Coronel is a second-generation coffee producer from the highlands of Jaén, Cajamarca. Coffee has been part of his family for generations and after more than 35 years working with it, including over 26 years producing speciality coffee, he knows a thing or two about growing the good stuff.
His farm, Finca El Pumapara, sits at 1,723 metres above sea level and takes its name from the native pumapara trees growing across the land. Together with his wife Francisca, Eusebio grows Bourbon, Pache and Catuaí beneath the shade of guaba, laurel and native trees.
Once picked, the coffee goes through carefully controlled fermentation before being washed and slowly dried on raised terraces. Eusebio has spent years refining these methods and experimenting with how processing and farming can push the quality of his coffee further.
This is a beautifully clean, delicate Peru with crisp white grape, soft pear sweetness and a creamy macadamia finish. Elegant, sweet and very easy to keep drinking.

Guatemala La Esperanza
A very special coffee for everyday drinking. Refreshing notes of crisp apple and yellow plum, followed by a sweet fudgy finish.
Some farms grow coffee. Others spend a lifetime perfecting it.
The farm name La Esperanza translates to “The Hope”, a reflection of what coffee has made possible for the Morales family. Francisco Morales and his wife have spent more than 40 years growing coffee at La Esperanza in the mountains of Huehuetenango. What started as a challenging family venture has become a thriving farm that supports not only their household but the wider community too. Francisco is always looking for ways to improve, whether that's learning from other producers or refining how coffee is grown and processed. It's a mindset that has earned him recognition in the Huehuetenango Highlands and is now carried on by his son, Desvin, who oversees processing at the farm.
Cherries are picked and depulped on the same day they're harvested before a careful fermentation and slow drying on open patios. The result is a washed coffee that brings clarity, sweetness and balance to every cup.

Kenya Gikanda Ndaroini AA
This is anything but your average Kenyan. Like a bag of pick n' mix, we're getting lime sweets, rhubarb and gummy bears.
Produced by members of the Ndaroini Factory in Nyeri County, this coffee comes from around 3,200 smallholder farmers growing coffee at elevations of up to 1,800 metres. The washing station recently began operating independently and continues the region's reputation for producing some of Kenya's most exciting coffees.
The farmers grow a mix of SL-28, SL-34, Batian and Ruiru 11 varieties, all processed using traditional washed methods. Cherries are sorted, fermented overnight and dried slowly on raised beds. The station also uses an eco-pulper to reduce water use, while the leftover cherry skins are returned to farms and turned into fertiliser.
This is a Kenya with a different side to show off.
We're getting all the sweets. Lime sweets, rhubarb and gummy bears. Bright acidity, loads of sweetness and the kind of cup that keeps you going back for another brew.
