Earlier this summer, @siala______ and I (James 👋) had the privilege of visiting @mio.fazenda , the beautiful farm in Minas Gerais, Brazil where our house coffee, Daydreamer, is grown. We witnessed first-hand the true precision and care poured into every stage of production, from the careful harvesting, drying and sorting of the cherries through to the thorough (and at times experimental) post-harvest processes. For those who know the team at Mió, it’s crystal clear how deeply they’re rooted in the land and how much love, care and respect they hold for the environment that makes their incredible work possible. Experiencing this connection with Carlos, Ana and all the team was inspiring and humbling (not to mention the glorious abundance of friendly dogs we had the pleasure of hanging out with…special shout out to Zeus 🐕).
It’s safe to say that this was an unforgettable visit that not only connected us more deeply to the coffee we roast and serve every day, but also to the people and land that make it all possible. We’ve got some seriously exciting things cooking with the amazing team at Mió in the coming months - and we can’t wait to bring you all along for the ride 🚗
Photos taken by moi, shoutout to the best @modernelab x
New year, same stand! RW04 🕳️ @londoncoffeefestival we’re back and we have an exceptional range of exclusive brews ready just for you… Also, our very own Head of Coffee @siala______ will be co-MCing this year’s Coffee Masters, so make sure you pop over and catch her in action! See you all there x
Happy Monday guys! We've got another DOUBLE RELEASE for you... ⚔️
First up we have MANDARIN SUN 🍊 our latest vibrant Kenyan brew.
Sourced from Lot 20 Coffee in Kericho County, this coffee is seriously expressive, using a unique Koji + orange co-fermentation process that creates a cup layered with sweetness and complexity.
We’re tasting: Chocolate Orange, Pecan, Caramel (yum)
Next up is GLIMMER ✨ our second Mexican coffee release of this year and an absolutely beautiful cup.
Produced by Las Mazatecas, a collective of Indigenous Mazatec women producers, in Oaxaca’s Sierra de Flores Magón. This washed lot really showcases the incredible care behind their hard work. It’s a wonderfully clean and comforting cup with a delicate fruit sweetness throughout. A perfect new daily driver!
We’re tasting: Pear, Plum, Caramel
Both of these brews are available now so dive on in 🕳️
ELSEWHERE; elsewhere 🕳️
We recently spent some time with our friends at @13thfloor.coffee , the same great crew behind the mighty @endoftheroad , who bring that same energy to everything they do.
We’ve actually been working together for a while now. It’s been about three years since we first met Benny and the team, and we collaborated closely to develop their signature house espresso, RAW POWER. They wanted something that felt fundamentally them. Since then, it’s become part of the day-to-day at 13th Floor and, of course, has helped keep things moving for those slightly wobbly early risers during festival mornings at EOTR in the summer!
Across their three sites, they’ve built something thoughtful, independent, and crafted with real care. The whole operation, whether it’s one of their cafés or the festival, feels like a true reflection of that.
If you find yourself passing through any of their North East London locations, it’s well worth stopping in, grabbing a cup, giving Raw Power a whirl and seeing what they’re about. We’re big fans - also EOTR has a winner of a lineup this year, so check it out!
The sun is shining and we've got another DOUBLE RELEASE for you! ⚔️
First up we have IN BLOOM 🌺 our first ever Indonesian coffee...
From producers Wildan + Atieq Mustofa at Frinsa Estate, West Java. This one's a seriously unique lot using extended fermentation with Lactobacillus and Rhizopus, resulting in a cup that’s complex, juicy and full of depth.
We're tasting: Hibiscus, Dark Berry, Cacao Nibs
Next up is SUNBEAM 🌅 a beautifully elegant Colombian release.
Our third coffee from producers Fernando & Alejandra Garcia in Huila, this time showcasing the Chiroso varietal. It's floral, it's expressive - we really can't get enough of this one!
We're tasting: Rosehip, Elderflower, Panela
