Coffee Of The Month

Discover a New Favourite Every Month

We love trying new things - and sometimes that means bringing in small batches of really special, single-origin beans that don’t always make it into our regular line-up. When you subscribe to our Coffee of the Month, you’ll get a different, unique coffee delivered straight to your door every month.

You might try beans that have been processed in different ways - natural, washed, or even anaerobic fermentations - from places like Guatemala, Peru, Ethiopia, Haiti, Mexico, Brazil, Papua New Guinea, and plenty more.

This subscription lets us share amazing coffees without having to buy huge (and expensive) quantities. It’s a win-win: you get to try something new and exciting each month, and we keep the price flat no matter what the beans cost us.

Colombia - El Paraiso Red Plum Castillo

ed Plum coffee is renowned for its exceptional quality and distinctive flavor profile, primarily attributed to the cutting-edge processing techniques at Finca El Paraíso in the Cauca region of Colombia. Produced by the visionary Bermudez family, this coffee represents a masterclass in modern coffee science, transforming the dependable Castillo variety into something both vibrant and unforgettable.

The key characteristics of Red Plum - Finca El Paraíso are:

Innovative Processing: This coffee undergoes a controlled double fermentation using a custom "Red Fruit" culture developed from coffee mucilage and cascara. This specific method is designed to amplify complexity while ensuring remarkable consistency across every batch.

Thermal Shock Wash: The process is finished with a signature thermal shock wash and precision drying. This technique "locks in" the volatile aromatic compounds, resulting in a vibrant, aromatic cup that is an unmistakable expression of modern Colombian coffee.

Flavor Profile: This coffee is often described as having a brilliant acidity with a medium, well-balanced body. Flavor notes include a complex bouquet of plum, cherry, raspberry, and granadilla (passion fruit), rounded out by the deep sweetness of panela.

Growing Conditions: Grown at a high altitude of 1960 meters, the coffee trees thrive among a diverse ecosystem of plantain, banana, and various fruit and flower trees. This shade-grown environment contributes to the dense, flavorful development of the beans.

Versatility: Red Plum performs beautifully across all brewing methods. Whether prepared as a precise pour-over or a modern espresso, it delivers a consistent, high-scoring (93 points) experience with a prolonged, sweet cherry aftertaste.
