The Truth is our house blend and a timeless classic. We work with two outstanding producers to create a blend that is consistent, balanced, sweet and works great with milk. Our focus is on building long-term and sustainable relationships with our entire supply chain in order to ensure consistency, traceability and great quality. As part of our seasonal adjustments to maintain freshness, we update the components of The Truth blend annually. It rotates from a Brazil/Peru blend to a Brazil/Honduras blend every 6 months.
Brazil Legender Sítio Trio
Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer. Most of it comes from vast industrial farms built for volume – meaning smaller farms can get overlooked and undervalued. We source differently. We work with smaller farms (sitios) because that's where the best coffee is, and where our money makes a real difference.
This coffee comes from three small family-run farms – Sítio Cafundo, Sítio Tripui and Barreiro – in the municipality of Campestre, sitting at around 1,250m above sea level. They're part of the Legender series, a Brazil-based project built on a simple idea: the country's best coffee comes from small family farms, not industrialised mega farms. Shared values on sourcing matter to us, and Legender are exactly the kind of partner we want to work with.
What makes this meaningful is the relationship behind it. Over five years, Legender have worked closely with these farmers –
building trust, improving processing and paying quality premiums well above local market rates. Without that, this coffee could disappear into a regional blend, unnoticed. That kind of patient, consistent work is how you get better coffee and better livelihoods.
The coffee itself is naturally processed – the whole cherry is dried slowly before the fruit is removed, giving it that characteristic sweetness. Think caramel, dark chocolate and a syrupy smoothness that anchors our blend beautifully.
Peru Velo De Novia
The Peruvian element is from the Jaen region of Peru, where different elevations create a diversity of micro-climates. We bought this coffee from Caravela coffee – an importer dedicated to sourcing high-quality coffees from Latin America. They offer a hands-on approach, with boots on the ground at origin; providing education and support to producers. 20 small-scale coffee growers contribute green coffee to the Velo De Novia community blend. This coffee delivers a sweetness and a red fruit juiciness that really rounds off the finish on the palate.
