The tin

Everything you need is printed on it.

Turn it round: the coffee on the front, the notes on the back, where it came from down the side.

The front of the Huila tin: HALDEN in gold foil above Huila, Colombia, single origin, washed, 250 g

The tin

Made to be kept.

Matte black steel with a brushed-brass lid that seats with a soft click and keeps the air out. When it runs low, a refill bag tips straight in.

Down the side

Roasted twice a week, posted the next day.

We roast on Tuesday and Friday mornings, in small batches, and every order goes out tracked the next working day.

The back of the tin: tasting notes red grape, panela and cocoa nib, roasted in Leicester, batch 041, whole bean

Tasting notes

Printed on the back of every tin.

Red grape, panela, cocoa nib. The notes, the batch and the grind are on the label, so you can tell one tin from another without keeping the paperwork.

The fourth side of the tin: a capital H inside a fine gold ring

    What people say

    From people who drink it.

    Ordered on a Sunday night and it was on the mat by Thursday. The Huila makes a lovely V60, red fruit and a bit of cocoa at the end.

    We moved the office over to Low Lane in the spring. The queue for the kitchen has got longer.

    I bought the first tin because it looked good on the shelf. I've kept buying the Sidama for what's inside it.
