Coffee

Three coffees, roasted twice a week.

Each comes in a 250 g tin, whole bean or ground to order. When the tin runs low, a 1 kg refill bag tips straight in.

We roast on Tuesdays and Fridays and post the next working day.

The cream Sidama, Ethiopia tin with a brushed-brass lid on a stone plinth

Single origin · Natural

Sidama, Ethiopia

Blueberry, jasmine, lemon curd

Dried whole in the cherry on raised beds for about three weeks, which is where the blueberry comes from. Floral while it's hot, more lemon as it cools. We roast it light and drink it as filter.

The front of the Huila tin: HALDEN in gold foil above Huila, ColombiaThe back of the Huila tin: tasting notes red grape, panela and cocoa nib

Single origin · Washed

Huila, Colombia

Red grape, panela, cocoa nib

From smallholders on the slopes above the Magdalena valley, who pick over several passes and wash the coffee the same day. Roasted light enough to keep the fruit, long enough for the sweetness. It's the one we drink most, as filter or as a short black.

The bottle-green Low Lane tin with a brushed-brass lid on a stone plinth

House espresso blend

Low Lane

Dark chocolate, hazelnut, molasses

Our house espresso, and the one most of our cafés pour. Two parts Brazil for body and chocolate, one part washed Colombia for a bit of lift. It sits well in milk and forgives a grinder that drifts. Named after the lane behind the roastery.

Roast days

We roast on Tuesday and Friday. Order by 10:00 the day before and your coffee goes in that roast. Right now that's the next roast day.

Postage

Tracked, £3.95, and free on orders over £30. It's posted the next working day and usually with you one or two days after that.

Whole bean or ground

Whole bean keeps its flavour longest. If you'd rather we grind it, choose your brewer and we grind it on the morning it's packed.
