Assembly Espresso Blend

Assembly Espresso Blend

Brazil – Fazenda Mio
El Salvador - Finca El Salvador
Panama - Finca Santa Teresa

The Assembly Espresso Blend has been created in collaboration with some of the most esteemed specialty coffee shops in the UK. The coffees that make up the Blend are regularly refined according to crop seasonality and our sourcing programme, currently it is comprised of:

Brazil - 60%
Panama - 30%
El Salvador - 10%

The Blend is designed to be versatile, equally suited to black and milk-based drinks and fine-tuned for the evolving palate of the UK coffee drinker. It's sweet, has a medium-full body, and a viscous mouthfeel. We recommend this coffee for anyone who enjoys a classic espresso.

In this particular iteration, the Brazil is the flavour anchor and brings out the chocolate notes, creamy texture and body. The El Salvador adds the sweetness and rich fruitiness, and the acidity of the Panama enhance the overall complexity of the Blend's flavour profile.

In the cup, the Blend is balanced, viscous and rich. It’s a consistent espresso constantly refined via our tight-knit producer partnerships and the product development they enable.

Assembly Decaf

Assembly Decaf

Producer — El Carmen, Colombia
Region — Pitalito, Huila
Varietals — Caturra, castillo
Process — Sugar Cane Decaffeination
Altitude — 1400 - 2100 masl

The Assembly Decaf is produced in Huila region, southern Colombia by farmers and producers from Raw Material's El Carmen project. The decaffeination plant for this coffee is located in Manizales - a city situated in the mountainous coffee-growing region of western Colombia.

A sugar cane decaffeination process is used to strip the coffee of its caffeine content. This process utilises naturally derived ethyl acetate (a byproduct from refining sugar cane), diluted with local spring water. This then attaches itself to substances of a particular molecular weight, including caffeine, to decaffeinate the coffee without hindering its natural complexities and flavour compounds.

We source these coffees because they have characteristics that lend themselves to both espresso and filter brewing. Their texture and flavour facilitate outstanding espresso and we also encourage filter brewing to unlock their complexity and clarity. And by securing these dual-purpose coffees in larger volumes, we give you access to premium lots at reduced prices.

Mexico — Sipro

Producer Association — Sierra Productora de Café (SIPRO)
Region — Amatenango de la Frontera, Chiapas, Mexico.
Variety — Caturra, Mundo Novo
Terroir — 1500 - 1750 masl, temperate tropical climate.
Process — Washed

Sierra Productora de Cafe or SIPRO is an association of eight smallholder producers in Amatenango de la Frontera, a small Chiapian community on the south-eastern edge of the country. Stand in the town centre and a strong throw will send a stone across the border into Guatemala's renowned coffee-growing Huehuetenango region.

This proximity means that coffee from the two regions share similar traits. This lot has prominent sweetness, nutiness, a syrupy texture and low acidity. The result is an easy- drinking, crowd-pleasing cup.

This is the second successive year we've bought this coffee and once again it's proving to be a huge hit in the roastery, we're very happy to share it with you.

Brazil — Elias Maria + Erika Peres

Producer — Elias Maria + Erika Peres
Farm — Sítio cantinho do céu
Region — Mata de Minas, São Sebastião do Anta
Variety — Catucai
Terroir — 750 masl, temperate tropical climate
Process — Anaerobic Fermentation

Within Brazil, the Minas Gerais municipality of São Sebastião do Anta has a reputation for producing high-quality coffees. But ask anyone outside of the country and it’s unlikely you’ll hear the same enthusiasm, for one simple reason – these coffees rarely leave Brazilian shores.

Historically, São Sebastião do Anta’s harvest season often doesn’t match up with the sourcing programmes of coffee roasters based outside of Brazil. And so, with none of the coffees making it onto cupping tables during sourcing visits to origin of these overseas roasters, they are usually destined for the domestic market.

Outside of our sourcing activities, we recently visited our green coffee partners – Mió - to launch a collaborative agroforestry project. During the trip, we were lucky enough to sample several coffees grown in São Sebastião do Anta – including this specific lot.

Grown at 750 masl, this coffee is another indicator that altitude might not be the variable that most effects quality. Instead, it’s likely that it’s the diversity of the soil microbiome in which the coffee is grown – directly impacted by the biodiversity of the surrounding habitat.

Research in this area is being driven forward in Brazil by Professor Lucas Louzada of the Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo and it was him who introduced us to this coffee.

In the cup, you’ll encounter flavours notably different from the classic Brazilian notes of chocolate, nut and caramel. This is a remarkable coffee.

El Salvador — FES Bourbon

El Salvador — FES Bourbon

Producer —Rodolfo Ruffatti at Finca El Salvador
Region — Santa Ana, Western El Salvador
Varietal — Bourbon
Terroir — 1700 masl, temperate tropical climate
Process — Natural

Arriving from Italy in the 1920s, Luigi Risso had grand plans to open an espresso bar in San Salvador. Quickly, his heart lead him away from the bright lights of the city and up into the coffee-growing hills of the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range. It was here he founded Finca El Salvador.

A century and five generations on, Luigi's great-great-grandson Rodolfo Ruffatti is at the helm. Taking over full-time management of the farm in 2020 after his father's retirement, Rodolfo has set about splitting the farm into 50% micro-lot and exotic varietals, 50% high volume pulped natural and natural lots.

Rodolfo's work is producing really exceptional coffees. Over the past few years we've enjoyed a number of beautiful examples from Finca El Salvador, including several iterations of our seasonal House Espresso. This specific lot is crop of the jewel in the farm’s crown – Bourbon. The result is a cup full of flavours so rich you won’t forget it in a hurry.

Brazil — Pieter Keijsers

Producer — Pieter Keijsers
Farm — Sítio Maracatu
Region — Sul de Minas
Variety — Catigua MG2
Terroir — 1000 masl, temperate tropical climate
Process —Anaerobic Fermentation

Moving to Brazil in the 1990s for an internship, Dutchman Pieter Keijsers went on to forge a career in agribusiness. Developing an interest in coffee, in 2008 he and his partner founded Sítio Maracatu.

Sitting on the southwest edge of Minas Gerais – a state larger in size than Spain - Pieter’s farm spreads out over 70 hectares of land and hosts a mix of shade and full sun-grown coffee. Catigua – first bred through a manual cross of Yellow Catuai and Timor Hybrid in 1980 - is the dominant variety here and is prized for it’s high sweetness, weighty body and syrupy smooth texture.

Each of these qualities are prominent in this specific coffee from Pieter. As a result, you’ll enjoy it brewed as filter and as espresso.

Ecuador — Cruz Loma

Produces — Galo and Alexandra Morales
Farm — Cruz Loma
Region — San Jose de Minas, Pichincha, north-central Ecuador
Variety — Caturra
Terroir — 1450 masl, temperate tropical climate
Process — Honey washed

Over recent years, Galo and Alexandra Morales have made a name for themselves as two of the country's leading coffee producers. Coffees from the husband-and-wife team placed 1st in the 2021 Best of Ecuador competition, and 2nd in the same contest the following year. They followed these successes up with a 3rd place in the 2022 Ecuador Cup of Excellence.

This particular lot was handpicked, pulped, fermented for 24 hours, and then dried in a controlled environment until the desired moisture level was reached.

In the cup, we've found this coffee to have notes of hazelnut and citrus fruit, with anotably juicy texture driven by the post-harvest honey process.

Tanzania - Edelweiss

- - Origin — Tanzania
  - Producers — The Vohora family, Edelweiss Estate
  - Region — Karatu, northern Tanzania
  - Variety — Ethiopian Heirloom
  - Terroir — 1600-1850 masl, temperate tropical climate
  - Process — Anaerobic Natural

The Edelweiss estate has been in the hands of the Vohora family since 1969. Perched on the edge of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the farm borders the entirely indigenous Ngorongoro forest.

Volcanic soil, extreme variations in topography and multiple micro-climates ensure coffees from the estate present remarkably complex flavour profiles.

The origin of this coffee is particularly interesting. In 2007, five Heirloom beans were imported into Tanzania from Ethiopia. They were planted, propagated and over the following 10 years the plantings were expanded to cover 40 acres of the estate and are now producing exceptional lots.

Once harvested as ripe cherries, this lot underwent a four day pre-fermentation process. It was then dried in cherry and the result is a cup full of rich fruit flavours, sweet spice notes and a weighty texture. A delicious brew.
