Roasted fresh weekly
Introducing The Elevate Blend
After serving hundreds of thousands of cups roasted by others we wanted to create a coffee blend that was both amazing served black, but had the versatility to pair deliciously well with milk too.
The brief was to develop a blend that featured the following characteristics; body, brightness and fruity berry notes. We set to finding a combination of beans that delivered on this brief and went through the process of cupping, roast profiling, tasting and tweaking until we were satisfied with the outcome. From this the Elevate Blend was born.
Coffee with a cause, making real world Impact
The Nziza Collective is a group of over 200 women who are the single providers for their families. This year their coffee was of an unparalleled calibre, and was set aside from the rest of the Kivu Lake harvest to be featured as a microlot under the same name. However, poverty and old wounds still perpetuate cycles of abuse and need, and the women of the Nziza Collective have become our priority as we together seek ways to build the health of their communities.
