Our Coffee Descriptions

One reason Kush coffee tastes so good is all our blends are pre-blended. We blend the green beans and they are all roasted together and a magic happens. Many roasters post-blend for economy. Imagine a casserole where all the components were cooked seperatly and assembled at the end. It would just not be the same.

This Decaf is processed using the Swiss Water Method (steam) to get rid of the caffeine. A complicated process where the flavour and caffeine is removed and then filtered before the flavour is put back.
Other methods use Methelene chloride (paint stripper) Ethyl acetate or Carbon Tetrachloride (dry cleaning fluid). Best to avoid them!

Ethiopia where coffee was discovered aprox 1200-1500 years ago is still one of the world’s best coffees. Generally dry processed because of a lack of water, which can be a great advantage as it produces a unique sweet taste.

 The Dutch brought coffee to Sumatra in the 1600’s after stealing it fgrom Yemen. Sumartan coffee is famous for its body. Lovely deep, thick, sticky, wonderful body.

It always makes me think of the bass track in music. Nothing sharp or acidic just lovely pounding beat.

From a co-op high up in the Andes comes this fantastic coffee. The quality of the coffee has improved dramatically since small holders formed the co-op, became fairtrade certified and worked together to improve quality as well as their own lives.

This amazing coffee is from an all woman’s co-op in Guatemala. These women do a wonderful job with this coffee. You can taste the love, nurturing and care they instil in the beans.

This is the world’s most dangerous coffee. Many farmers and workers have lost their lives when they have been in the way of the raging civil war. A number of coffee brokers have also been killed. Buying Congo coffee is an easy way to support them.
