Red Stag Espresso

We buy seasonally so the components for our Red Stag espresso blend change throughout the year, but we always aim for a cup that is sweet and fruity with a lovely chocolate base. We’re proud to offer a coffee that can stand alone as espresso but is equally phenomenal in milk.

Our aim with Red Stag Espresso is to offer a consistent and reliable blend for our all our customers, whether they're a specialty cafe owner or an enthusiastic home espresso brewer.

We'e been working with Bruna Costa of the UK/Brazil based women owned importers Bossa Coffee for a number of years now and are delighted to have secured a number of bags of this fresh harvest, natural mundo novo lot from Bruna's parents farm, Fazenda Barrinha in Santo do Pinhal. The farm has been in the Costa family for three generations now and as well as coffee, Fazenda Barrinha is also a working horse ranch.

Don Hector Leal's 100 hectare farm is based in the town of Acatenango, Guatemala. The farm which is more than 200 years old was bought by Leal in the early 2010’s. Leal has put his 65+ years of coffee work and knowledge to use, transforming the farm with new growing methods and varietals which include H1, H3, Casiopea, Gesha, Ethiopean Dwarf, Pink Bourbon, amongst others, producing an exquisite cup of coffee.

Javier from Caribbean Goods was fortunate to meet Maris Leal and Daniel Skineer-Klee. Maris is the granddaughter of Don Hector Leal and currently manages the farm with her husband, Daniel. Their collaboration appears seamless, and their dedication to exceptional quality is evident. Maris has also judged coffees at ANACAFE (The Guatemalan Coffee Association), and together with Daniel, they have three lovely children.

Kalingwe is a village in the northern part of Kasese District situated in one of the many valleys of the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains. Agri Evolve established a buying centre here for the farmers of Ibanda and the surrounding communities higher up on the hillsides. Farmers typically have between 1 and 2 acres of land and coffee is their main cash crop. Ripe, red coffee cherries are harvested daily during the harvest season and taken to Ibanda. The cherries are weighed, assessed for quality and the farmers are paid in cash. From here trucks carry the cherries to the Agri Evolve coffee station where the cherries are floated and graded before being sun-dried.

Our speciality coffees are 100% traceable and ethically sourced. We work direct with farmers, or through trusted partners, to bring you the best coffee from around the world.
