Guatemala New Crop Coffee When we buy coffee we have to consider many factors. Coffee lying around from a previous season is every coffee roaster and importers nightmare. When promises of coffee flavour are broken it lets down the consumer as well as a producer. The producer could potentially be judged (although unfairly for) future crops based on […]

For many of us, this is a relief! We have so many customers that love and rely on our Guatemalan coffees. We have clients that love the subtleties of each farm and varietal as juicy filters and we also have clients who love the developed nature of Chapin, which is a play on caramelisation, grown at high […]
Tulips from Amsterdam? Being a small team, meant that we couldn’t all get on the plane to the world of coffee Amsterdam as our JG Coffee world would stop. It has been 7 years since I visited one of these and being the introvert I am found myself in a warm-shock of social activity before I […]
Oooh new website! It turns out that survival in the coffee world isn’t enough just to source tasty coffee,import it, roast it, put it in a bag and make it available, or was it always like that? You may have noticed that we have changed visibly over the last while. We have worked on making […]

Take away (or Take-out) coffee indirectly has been our salvation as a business this year. Having an increase in retail sales is lovely but not what we are geared towards. Amongst some businesses out there, just having a vessel to put a saleable beverage in has been their financial oxygen in 2020. This is understandable […]
The Processing Purist When we buy coffee, there are a number of parameters that we need and like to fulfill. Firstly flavour or cup quality is the priority. Then we need that coffee to be a great example of where it comes from and if this can build into a relationship with a producer, then […]
Three weeks ago, our friend, Elliot at Monkshood pushed us to get Winter Hoard ready, ahead of their big annual Christmas event at the manor. Sadly the event is a little like much of England at the moment. In more normal times Laurian from Cocoricco Patisserie is usually the first to come across and brew […]
I wanted to keep this post really short and clear. Kenya itself is a nice loaded single worded coffee subject for a post.
