Fruity, full bodied and perfectly balanced. The world's first Rwandan speciality coffee. Grown by Abahuzamugambi Ba Kawa (though we just call them Maraba). We began trading with Maraba in 2002. They were just a small group of farmers, back then. Today, they're a co-operative of 1,500.
Notes of Citrus, Redcurrant and Toffee
We hand-roast our coffee in small batches to develop delicious flavour and aroma for each individual coffee.
Our Story
San Francisco, the 90s. Flannel shirts, scruffy hair. The smell of fresh-roasted coffee lingers in the air and captivates the senses.
That aroma. It woke up an ambition in us - to bring good coffee to the world.
Fast forward to East London, today. Working with smallholder farmers around the world we source high quality of coffee, craft-roasting each batch in our vintage Probat to develop the exquisite flavours. We're now proud roasters for Britain's finest restaurants, cafés - and coffee gourmets like you.
Welcome to our union. Enjoy your brew.
