Brazil’s coffee harvest is in full swing!

With the peak of Brazil’s harvest upon us, we look at why this year’s conditions have led to a more volatile market and give you an update on how our producing partners are faring. 

It’s time to plan for Bolivia!

In the coming weeks, Beau is headed to Bolivia, where she will spend time with long time partners the Rodríguez family of Agricafe, and will select offerings from the ongoing harvest.

¡Hola, Guate!

Our first Guatemalan offerings of the year will land this week! The line up is incredibly versatile, representing some of our most treasured supply relationships.

Small Estates, Major Victories

By prioritising coffees from small, independent producers and family-run estates, we source our Kenyan offerings a little differently than most importers do. A look back at the crop’s history in Kenya and the context under which these farms were established is key in understanding why our strategy goes against the status quo — and why we’re so committed to their coffee.

It’s time to plan for Brazil!

We’re off to Brazil next month, to spend time with supply partners Silvio Leite and Fabiano Borré and select coffees from the current harvest. Before we head off, we want to hear from you to help us build our buying brief and accurately plan for the 2026 season.
