Every month we will bring you two brand new, truly exceptional coffees. Bringing together bright and vibrant coffees from producers that we work closely with, always in line with the changing seasons. This box is an opportunity for us to share our most exciting micro-lots, never repeating a coffee within a calendar year. We roast and ship these coffees at the beginning of each month so all new orders placed will be not be shipped immediately.


The focus for December is Kenyan varietals grown outside of Kenya. We have chosen two coffees from El Salvador.

Finca San Francisco - Batian
Finca San Francisco is a very large farm, with 294 hectares of farm land divided into smaller farming blocks called ‘tablones’. Growing conditions vary a lot between tablones for example the altitude ranges from lows of 1200 metres above sea level to highs of 1700. The lot we have chosen for this month is a kenyan variety called Batian. Batian is a composite variety that mixes a number of different varieties most notably SL28, SL34 and Rume Sudan.

El Martillo - SL28
We’ve been buying coffee from El Martillo in El Salvador for a few years now and have come to look forward to tasting amazing rich chocolatey Bourbons from there, this year is different. When we saw they had produced an SL28 we were intrigued to see what it would taste like. SL28 is one of the only varietals synonymous with a tasting note, people see SL28 and expect blackcurrant, so seeing a producer we associated with classic chocolatey coffees had grown such a fruit-forward varietal was very exciting.
