About the coffees in this blend:

Brazil - Fazenda Nunes

Variety | Bourbon & Catuai 

Process | Natural

Altitude | 900-1000 MASL

This beautiful wonderful coffee from Brazil is the start of a new long-term partnership we are hoping to build through our importing partner Sucafina. 
What drew us to sourcing this coffee, aside from how bloody good it tastes, is that this coffee is one of the first to attain Sucafina’s IMPACT verification. The IMPACT program ensures that coffee is produced in accordance with specific social and environmental standards. The Nunes family got their IMPACT verification as a way to confirm that their coffee is produced in socially and environmentally friendly ways and to re ach new markets for sustainable coffees.  


Uganda - Katanda 

This wonderful coffee is made from the Katanda farmer's community in the Kasese district, located in the southernmost part of the Rwenzori mountain range and processed by Agri Evolve.

The Katanda community is situated near the main coffee station at Nyabirongo in the southern part of Kasese District. Agri Evolve have a strong connection with their community, as they supported the establishment of a clean water supply for them in 2020. The Katanda community consists of 1000 smallholder farmers who cultivate coffee on small parcels of land ranging from 1 to 4 acres. Covering a wide area within the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, the Katanda farmers community in Kasese district has altitudes ranging from 1300 to 1600 masl.

The cherries are harvested and collected from 3 central buying centres and then delivered to the Nyabirongo washing station during the main and fly harvests. Upon arrival at the Nyabirongo washing station, the coffee cherries are pulped and fermented in large tanks for approximately 24 hours. After washing, the resulting "parchment" is dried either on raised beds or mechanically, depending on various factors. Once fully dried, the parchment is stored in our warehouse until it is ready for export. It is then hulled, graded, and bagged.

  1. Grind your coffee to a medium-coarse grind
  2. Weigh out your coffee, we always recommend 60g coffee to 1 litre of water.  For example: 400ml brew = 24g coffee
  3. Using fresh water, boil your kettle, fold the filter paper into your Chemex and flush with hot water to pre heat the Chemex and remove any papery taste. Discard the water
  4. Pour the ground coffee into the Chemex paper and gently shake to even out the coffee bed
  5. Start a timer then begin to bloom your coffee by pouring enough water to just cover and wet all the coffee and leave to steep for 30 seconds
  6. At 30 seconds begin to gradually add the rest of the water until all your water is added by 1 minute 30 seconds
  7. Allow the coffee to drain through the filter. If your grind is correct this should take approximately 5 minutes in total
  8. Pour and enjoy

  1. Grind your coffee a little coarser than table salt. You will need approx 15-17g of coffee.
  2. Boil your kettle with fresh water.
  3. Add your boiled water to the brewing chamber, just up to the fill line.
  4. Fill the basket with coffee, slightly mounded, and level the surface off with your finger. Brush away loose grounds on the top edge of the filter basket.
  5. Carefully screw the top of the brewer to the bottom not over-tightening it.
  6. Place the Moka pot on your stove over a medium heat ensuring the handle is not in any direct heat.
  7. Keep the lid open and wait for the coffee to extract into the top chamber.
  8. Once the coffee starts to bubble out of the inner spout and no more liquid emerges carefully take the Moka pot off the heat and run the bottom chamber under a cold tap to stop any further extraction.
  9. Pour and enjoy.
