Central and South American Coffees

Our Coffees

Our Coffees

All the coffees in this section are hand roasted in small batches.
We recently retired the roaster in the shop window which was purchased second-hand in 1936 when the shop opened and has served us well for over 80 years.
We now use the roaster in our warehouse behind the Crouch St shop.
We roast 14 different types of coffee bean which we sell 100% pure or in 3 house blends.
All types are available as either beans or ground to the customers specification.
Our popular 99p take-away filter coffees are made with a different type of coffee every week.
A great way to find your new favourite.



Bulk Coffee
We can 'contract' roast to your specifications any quantity of coffee from 10Kg. You can specify the coffee type and darkness of roast, or you can specify a blend roasted to your taste. Please phone or email for more details and bulk pricing. Trade enquiries welcome.

Brazil produces 2-3 times as much coffee as its nearest competitor, Colombia. This includes all types and grades of coffee. We have chosen this Santos as a good example of a soft and mild, low acidity arabica coffee which we feel compliments the other coffees in our range. The coffee itself is named after the port through which it is exported.

Colombian coffee beans decaffeinated.
This process removes 95-100 % of the caffeine from the bean.
We then roast the beans dark to give a full bodied, strong cup of coffee.

This high grade Arabica coffee from the World's 2nd largest producer is grown in what is regarded by many as the best coffee growing region of Colombia, namely Medellin. The coffee produced has a rich, nutty taste and is a good all round cup of coffee. Good for all day drinking.

This Arabica coffee is grown at 1500+m which is acknowledged to produce higher acidity in the beans and hence improves the flavour, but because the nights at this altitude are so cold the plants develop slowly and produce a fuller flavour than those at lower levels. These factors combine to give an aromatic, full bodied and smooth cup of coffee. Our most popular coffee!

Currently Unavailable. Hopefully it will be available from the next harvest.

The Finca La Aurora plantation is in Oaxaca and they have chosen to use a minimum of agrochemicals and use they also use their own wet mill for ensuring a carefully washed bean.
This SHG bean comes from between 1200 and 1600 metres above sea level and is a Bourbon Arabica. There is a wonderful depth to this coffee, with the accentuation on the deeper, richer notes. This Finca La Aurora has a smooth body with a chocolate sweetness.
