West Coast Roast

West Coast Roast is a beautifully balanced blend of some of our most stellar coffees in the roastery right now. Inspired by our love of the Hebrides, we roast this one to its brightest, sweetest best. Perfect for filter.

The Pink Bourbon variety is full of sweetness and character and is found widely in the southern part Colombia's Huila province where many coffee producers have planted it over the past 10 years. The variety has adapted well to climatic changes and has not been significantly affected by pests and diseases such as leaf rust, maintaining a good production yield. The coffee producers of the south of Huila are mostly second-generation farmers. Coffee is both a passion and a business for them, which is why they continually seek to improve the quality of their coffee to achieve better prices. Many of these producers have experimented with different fermentation times, vessels in which the coffee is fermented, and other techniques.

Kenya Kiandu was grown by a group of smallholder farmers who are all members of the Mutheka Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS) and deliver their coffee to Kiandu Coffee Factory. The facility lies in Kenya's renowned Nyeri County, near the town of Tetu.

Mutheka FCS is a very new organisation that was created in 2004 after the Giant Tetu Coffee Growers Co-Operative Society split. The FCS is located in Nyeri County, east of the Aberdare Ranges and west of Mt. Kenya, and manages seven factories with a total membership of approximately 6,000 small-scale coffee growers. Kiandu Factory has almost 1,900 registered members, making it one of Mutheka's largest. Only a small percentage of Kenyan coffee factories actively deliver coffee in any given year.

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.
