Darjeeling Tea prices Filtering through It is almost a year ago that we heard about the problems in Darjeeling. Here is a brief snippet from our main tea supplier: Tempers cooled in Darjeeling for the Muslim holy day Monday following 12 days of protests by Nepali separatists, some violent. The unrest has caused thousands of […]
Yes, this is a shameless plug to say that we are holding a coffee tasting at West Street Kitchen tomorrow, with Nathan & Millie. There will be a few new arrivals, some coffee ice cream, maybe coffee sorbet and coffee cocktails will be available too. 55 West Street Bristol. BS2 0BZ. Hope to see some of you […]

Randomly named after a beautiful bird that died, after flying way off-course, crudely yet elegantly hanging on a beam as an ornament became the Mendez’ name for the coffee farm we now know as El Pelicano. In hindsight, it probably is a good thing that it wasn’t a stray giraffe. We think 2018 has been the […]

Who would have thought it? The City-Fobes from rural Herefordshire are hijacking the Fetco stand for the retail days of the London Coffee Festival. If you are JG trade regulars, our coffee should be brewed during the Thursday and Friday on the Fetco stand. On Saturday (please Landrover start and get us there) and Sunday, […]

On Friday (27th of April) We had the pleasure of a revisit from Mr Wada from Japan. Mr Wada was our first overseas visitor to the roastery, when we moved here (feels like 5 days ago) two years ago almost to the day. It is always a privilege to learn and spend time with our […]
