STORY

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 Sertaozinho Village:

Unlike the large-scale farms Brazil is known for, this coffee comes from a close-knit group of over 100 smallholders, each farming just 1–2 hectares. In a country dominated by massive mega-farms that undercut the small guys, we wanted to source Brazilian coffee in a way that supports smaller producers and strengthens local communities – and this component is exactly that. In the hills surrounding the village, coffee is carried down steep slopes to shared patios and driveways where families and neighbours work together to dry and sort the harvest. It’s a true community effort. The result is a sweet, silky coffee that adds a syrupy smoothness to the blend and a story we’re proud to be part of.

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.

Good everyday brew

Spent some time trying different roasts, suppliers and blends, but we are setteling on THE TRUTH as our default daily cuppa. We did not want a coffee that was too sharp to test, but neither insipid. While we are open to trying new varitals, I was appy to give a cTOlose friends who are coffee afecianados, and it met with their approval.

Fantastic coffee!

Fantastic coffee! I first bought it in Waitrose and then it went out of stock, so I was delighted when I realised that I could buy it direct. Hands down my favourite coffee at the moment.

FAQ’S

THINGS PEOPLE ASK US

IS YOUR PACKAGING RECYCLABLE?

Our 200g and 1kg bags are made from recyclable LDPE (plastic #4). Check with your local authority for kerbside collection or recycle at major supermarkets. Our Nespresso-compatible aluminium capsules are also fully recyclable through household recycling or local collection points.

WHAT ROAST LEVELS ARE YOUR COFFEES?

We roast most coffee to an omni profile, which means it suits all brew methods while keeping the unique flavour of each coffee. The exceptions are The Truth, Uprising and The Bold. The Truth and Uprising are roasted for espresso, so they are more developed and soluble. The Bold is roasted darker to bring out richer characteristics alongside the coffee’s flavour.

WHAT GRIND SIZE DO YOU NEED?

Grind size can be tricky as adjusting it helps you get the best extraction. We know not everyone wants to invest in a grinder or fuss with settings. So we’ve simplified options with recommended brew methods:


Filter ground – cafetiere, pour-over filter and long brewed Aeropress
Espresso ground – short brewed Aeropress, moka pot and home espresso machines
