This is a journey to the dark side. Two sustainably sourced coffees roasted a little hotter and longer for more body and intensity. Grown by two speciality coffee producers in Brazil and Guatemala who dedicate their time to producing the sweetest, highest quality coffees.
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.
Guatemala Sisterhood
Grown entirely by women in Huehuetenango (pronounced way-way-teh-NAN-go) – one of Guatemala's most iconic coffee growing regions where 80% of the local population relies on coffee to make a living. In coffee, women do a huge chunk of the work but often miss out on land, training, funding and decision-making power. Primavera – who we buy this coffee through is changing that. They work directly with smallholder women farmers, paying premiums for top-grade coffees (84–85 points, if you’re counting) with full traceability back to the farm. The extra money goes towards workshops that give these women even more tools to grow, thrive and lead.
