Assembly House Espresso


  • Region — Santa Ana, western El Salvador

    Producer — Finca El Salvador

    Farm — Finca El Salvador

    Varieties — Bourbon

    Terroir — 1640 masl, temperate tropical climate

    Process — Natural, Washed

Espresso is the ultimate expression of coffee's utility, versatility, and tactility. It needs to propose an enjoyable experience drunk black and paired with milk. Therefore, espresso should have prominent sweetness, low acidity, and viscous texture.


To achieve these qualities with the Assembly House Espresso, we source coffees that naturally exhibit these characteristics. And then we roast them in ways that ensure they are fully optimised for espresso and also offer a delicious cup when brewed with all other methods


Over multi-year partnerships, we work with a small group of producers to rotate the coffee seasonally, so that:


- We celebrate the diversity in flavour of coffee, giving you the opportunity to experience multiple coffees

- We’re constantly refining the formula for the perfect espresso with data from the previous year’s harvest

- We return value to origin consistently, fairly and through innovative mechanisms.

While the coffee changes, the flavour profile remains similar through each iteration. It always has the qualities we all love in a classic espresso, with a touch more acidity to please the palate.


This season’s Assembly House Espresso is the work of Finca El Salvador - our longest-standing green coffee partner. It's the fourth appearance of this coffee in our House Espresso rotation and this latest harvest once again has all the qualities of an exceptional espresso – prominent sweetness, silky texture, plenty of body and balanced acidity.

Assembly Espresso Blend


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%
  • Colombia - 30%
  • Congo - 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-to-full body, and a viscous mouthfeel. We recommend this coffee for anyone who enjoys a classic espresso.


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.

Peru — Hermanos Guerreros


        • Producer — Hermanos Guerreros
          Region — Peru
          Variety — Catuai, Pache
          Terroir — 1800 masl
          Process — Natural
    1. Near Jaén, in the small community of El Palto, Bellavista, the Guerrero family has been farming coffee for three generations. Since taking over in 2006, they have each managed their own 2-hectare plots while sharing centralized washing and drying stations. Until 2020, they sold their coffee to local buyers at market prices, but after discovering the potential of the specialty coffee market, they began replanting varieties like Marshell and Geisha and implementing irrigation to adapt to drier conditions.

      As part of Falcon’s Specialty Plus program, the Guerreros have worked with an agronomist to refine their processing methods. Their standout honey process this year scored 88 points, involving a 36-hour cherry rest, 84-hour fermentation in barrels, and 12 days of drying on African beds. With tools like refractometers and thermometers provided by the program, they have also improved their washed coffees, increasing scores by 2.5 points and unlocking new opportunities in the specialty market.

    1. The coffee:

    2. For this coffee, we paid a premium to directly fund the construction of coffee drying infrastructure at one of the cooperative's processing facilities. In the cup it presents similarly to high quality Rwandan coffees grown close to the nearby border (across the water of nearby Lake Kivu) - expect rich berry flavours and a red wine-like texture.

      The producer:

      Based in South Kivu, closed to the shores of Lake Kivu, the Tumaini cooperative was founded in 2016 to support the wives, widows and orphans of local coffee farmers who have either passed or been subject to unlawful imprisonment.
      Tumaini – “hope” in Swahili – exists to celebrate, reward and further develop women’s contribution to the region’s coffee supply chain. Female producers are supported with education and resources to grow both coffee and other crops to secure year-round income.

      With support from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and Swiss public research university ETH Zurich, the cooperative has launched an initiative (led by 8 in-house agronomists, 4 of which are women) to create a circular economy in which the organic waste of households, local markets and coffee processing stations is collected and redistributed to farmers across the region to use as fertiliser.
      Tumaini gained organic certification and first exported green coffee in 2021. Financed largely by export revenue, plans for the next few years focus on the development of infrastructure including new schools, health centres and increased access to clean water and electricity.

Brazil — Brevi


      • Producer — Mio
        Region — Monte Santo de Minas
        Variety — Yellow Catucai
        Terroir — 900-1100 masl, temperate tropical climate
        Process — Assisted Fermentation
Brought to you by Assembly, Mió and Professor Lucas Louzada, the Overripe Fermentation Series marks a milestone in the research of solutions to reduce the impact of climate change on the production of coffee.


Unprecedented climatic conditions contributed to 75% of Mio's 2024 crop being classified as not ripe, of which 90% was overripe. Data-driven fermentation protocols - designed by Professor Lucas Louzada and his team - were applied to three lots from this harvest to rescue their cup score and it is these coffees that form this series.⁣


This lot was processed with a carbonic maceration technique very similar to that used in winemaking. The overripe cherries were enclosed in an oxygen-free tank at a temperature of 38°C for 72 hours and then dried naturally, without washing.

Brazil — Daterra Low Caffeine


      • Region — Cerrado, eastern Brazil

        Producer — Daterra Coffee

        Farm — Daterra

        Varieties — Aramosa, Laurina

        Terroir — 1000-1200 masl, temperate tropical climate

        Process — Pulped Natural

This lot is a blend of two coffee varieties with considerably reduced levels of caffeine – Aramosa and Laurina. A hybrid of two different species - Arabica and Racemosa – Aramosa is prized for its subtle florality, notes of milk chocolate and typically half the level of caffeine of Arabica.


Laurina, a naturally evolving hybrid of the Arabica variety Bourbon, is inherently very sweet and typically offers vibrant fruit flavours. With 25-50% of the caffeine content of regular Arabica beans, Laurina is extremely popular with coffee drinkers who are limiting their intake of caffeine.


Daterra has become synonymous with high-quality, low-caffeine coffees and this example is smooth, medium-bodied and full of the classic milk chocolate flavours Brazilian coffee is treasured for.


As Daterra approaches its 50th anniversary, its reputation as one of the world’s most influential coffee producers is incontestable. A fertile breeding ground for innovative farming practices and the high-quality, high-volume coffees they can produce, Daterra is home to a team of expert engineers with backgrounds in the automotive industry.

These engineers have a track record of developing new technologies that deliver significant steps forward in coffee processing, primarily in quality control and controlled fermentation.


And, not just focused on high-volume lots, the Masterpieces by Daterra collection showcases Daterra’s highest-scoring microlots that are processed by an in-house research and development laboratory.

Rwanda — Berthe Nyiransengimana


      • Region — Nyamasheke District

        Producer — Berthe Nyiransengimana

        Washing Station — Rugali

        Varieties — Red Bourbon

        Terroir — 1450-1600 masl, temperate tropical climate

        Process — Natural

This is one of a collection of three coffees that are the first Rwandan single producer lots ever produced against a brief, provided by us to global coffee exporter Raw Material. All located in the Nyamasheke District, coffees grown by these smallholders usually get mixed together before being processed at the Rugali or Cyesha Washing Stations - hubs renowned for consistently high-quality lots.


As is the same for the other producers featured in this series, this is the first time that one of Berthe's coffees has been processed as a single-producer lot. We worked closely with Raw Material and Rwanda's leading coffee producer organisation - Muraho Trading Company - to make these coffees a reality.


By bringing these coffees to market as single-producer lots, we've created significantly more value for the producers. And, by implementing a commitment of purchase mechanism (that is to say that we committed to purchasing these coffees at a future point in time), the buying process offered more security than is typical of Rwanda's coffee supply chain.


In the cup this coffee has a deliciously moreish texture, prominent berry flavours and plenty of sweetness. We can, and do, drink it all day.


After his passing, Berthe inherited the five acres of land once owned by her husband. Increasing the number of coffee plants from 300 to 4,000, Berthe has become a pillar Nyamasheke's coffee community and is blazing a trail for Rwanda's female coffee producers.

Guatemala — Santa Irene


      • Region — Cobán, central Guatemala
        Producer — Carlos Estrada
        Farm — Finca Santa Irene
        Varieties — Geisha
        Terroir — 1740 masl, temperate maritime climate
        Process — Natural
This Geisha lot has all of the qualities this rarest of varieties continues to be prized for. Complexity in flavour, rich floral aromas and intense sweetness. It's a special coffee, produced in a special environment.


Owned by Dr. Jacinto Estrada Zanabria, Santa Irene is a protected natural forest reserve stretching out over 320 acres in Cobán - central Guatemala's coffee hub. In 2013, Dr. Zanabria's son, Carlos Estrada, planted within the reserve around 37 acres of Catuaí, Geisha and Bourbon Sidra lots.


Fast forward thirteen years and Carlos is producing coffees of rare qualities rarely associated with Guatemalan lots, and the local climate plays a key role.
Cobán's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean envelopes it in that most rare of climates - a temperate maritime climate. Here, the seasons are either misty or rainy. With no dry season, a year's rainfall can push the 4,000mm mark - up to twice the amount usually seen across the planet's coffee-growing regions.


The unique climate, and the soil composition this drives, helps to produce coffees distinctively different from those grown elsewhere in the country. Often particularly delicate in texture and floral in aroma, Cobán's crop celebrates the diversity in sensory qualities of Guatemalan coffee.

Oolong tea + Jasmine + Tea-like

El Salvador — FES Bronze 72 Hr


      • Producer — Rodolfo Ruffatti at Finca El Salvador
        Region — Santa Ana, western El Salvador
        Varietal — Bronze Tip Pacamara
        Terroir — 1700 masl, temperate tropical climate
        Process — Natural
The Pacamara varietal was developed in the 1950s in El Salvador by crossing two natural mutations from two different coffee varietals – Bourbon (Pacas mutation) and Typica (Maragogype mutation).
Typically, to stabilise a new varietal, at least seven generations of breeding are required before it can be released. However, Pacamaras were introduced after just four generations, resulting in some trees showing signs of regression to one of the parent varietals.


The most noticeable differences are in the colour of the fresh leaves – some have a bronze hue, similar to Typica/Maragogype, while others are green, like Bourbon/Pacas. As a result, you’ll find Pacamaras with either 'bronze tip' or 'green tip' leaves.


Left to dry as a natural, this lot was first picked and left in its cherry and juices for 72 hours – a process sometimes labelled as maceration (as in winemaking). Although a relatively simple approach, this coffee has resulted in a rich and fruity cup with a smooth finish. We’re delighted to have this coffee from Rodolfo for the third year in a row.

Colombia — Sebastian Ramirez White Honey Geisha


      • Region - Quindío, Colombia
        Farm - Finca El Placer
        Altitude - 1744 masl
        Variety - Geisha
        Process - Assisted Fermentation, Semi-washed
This coffee was processed with post-harvest fermentation techniques that directly impact quality and subsequently have been adopted by many producers across Colombia.

For the first phase the ripe cherries were submerged in water in temperature-controlled airtight tanks to ferment anaerobically (without oxygen) for 48 hours. During this, CO2 was injected into the tank to flush out oxygen, preventing the growth of undesirable microbes that could destabilise the controlled fermentation.

The cherries were then pulped of their mucilage and dry fermented in an airtight tank, again at a controlled temperature, for another 48 hours. The process was finished with a final 48-hour stint, submerged once again in water.

The result is a cup of high complexity, intense floral aromas and a luxurious texture. A real standout coffee and a powerful demonstration of the pioneering methods being refined by producers working at the forefront of innovation.
And don’t just take our word for it – this coffee placed first in the 2025 Czech Brewer’s Championship (latest harvest), first in the 2024 Irish Barista Championship and sixth in the 2024 World Barista Championship (both previous harvest). A coffee of particular pedigree.

A fourth-generation producer growing exceptional coffee for two decades, Sebastian Ramirez has earned a reputation as one of the most influential figures in Colombian coffee.

His groundbreaking research into controlled, intentional fermentation techniques is producing a consistent stream of coffees that live long in the memory. Sebastian’s commitment to quality is showcasing the full potential of coffees grown at El Placer.
And he is actively guiding the next generation of Colombian coffee producers through his role as mentor in the Colombia Young Producers Program. This initiative pairs experienced operators with young producers who blend their small, experimental lots together with the larger lots of their mentors – enabling the mentees to access otherwise inaccessible markets and giving them valuable experience to take forward.

Brazil — Rocalso


      • Producer - Mió
        Region - Minas Gerais, Brazil
        Terroir - 900-1100 masl
        Process - Natural, assisted fermentation
        Variety - Arara
Process
This is another coffee from our Brazilian green coffee partners Mió that was previously classified as overripe, processed with a progressive technique to rescue quality.


Mió’s yeast fermentation technique utilises the power of baker's yeast to drive fermentation and facilitate the development of flavour-carrying sugars that can produce the flavours present in the cup.
For this coffee, the overripe cherries were placed in oxygen-free tanks and inoculated with the yeast to kick-start the process. Glucose and fructose were then added to further fuel the fermentation that lasted 72 hours before the cherries were dried naturally, without washing.


The result is a flavour profile of marked sweetness and silky textures, another excellent lot from a farm now synonymous with innovation.
You’ll find Mió’s other overripe lots in our Overripe Fermentation Series.


Producer
Mió is our Brazilian green coffee partner, and as the partnership progress through its fifth year, the farm's fermentation research is spearheaded by Dr. Lucas Louzada - PHD in Production Engineering, Q-Grader, former Head of Coffee Design at the Institute of Espírito Santo, Chief Operating Officer of Mió and Founder of the Mió Institute (its R&D arm).


Lucas’ expertise speaks for itself and the work of his team is identifying systems - accessible and scalable - with the potential to protect coffee from climate change not just in Brazil, but globally.


With Lucas, Mió has positioned itself at the frontier of innovation in coffee - a critical stakeholder in the present and future of the global industry.

Colombia — Nestor Lasso Ombligon 2024


      • Producer - Nestor Lasso at El Diviso
        Region - Pitalito, Huila, Colombia
        Terroir - 1750 msl
        Process - Natural, Assisted Fermentation
        Variety - Ombligon
This coffee is the latest harvest of one of our most popular coffees of last year… And the flavour profile is even more breathtaking than the last.
Grown in limited quantities in the Huila region only and known for its distinctive “navel” at the base of the bean (hence the name ‘Ombligon’ – Spanish for ‘belly button’), this variety is a natural genetic mutation that typically offers intense fruitiness and heady aromas.


This specific lot has had the full El Diviso post-harvest treatment – a multi-step process of temperature-controlled fermentations, brewer’s yeast inoculation and thermal shock water rinsing.
The result is a cup that you’ll never forget – a wild drop that will linger long in the memory. It’s intense, vibrant and wholly expressive of a naturally complex coffee processed with pioneering methods.


Producer:
Nestor Lasso’s reputation as one of the world’s most influential coffee producers has been founded on a consistent stream of coffees that challenge existing understanding of the flavour potential of coffee.


For the past seven years, Nestor, his brother and Jhoan Vergara (himself an established producer) have grown coffees under the El Diviso umbrella. During this time, the two brothers enrolled on a government-funded education programme delivered by SENA – an organisation providing training and support to Colombia’s new generation of coffee producers.


Three years ago, the three began working with Colombian coffee exporter Cata Export to research new fermentation protocols that would produce coffees for the UK and European markets.


The results have been fruitful – coffees from El Diviso have won multiple international barista competitions, and Nestor particularly has become synonymous with coffees wild and wonderful.

Colombia — Sudan Rume Hybrid CGLE


      • Region — Valle del Cauca
        Producer — Cafe Granja La Esperanza
        Farm — Finca Las Margaritas
        Variety — Sudan Rume
        Terroir — 1500-1900 masl, temperate tropical climate
        Process — Semi-washed, Assisted Fermentation
Sudan Rume is one of the rarer coffee varieties. Prized for its exceptional cup quality, it typically offers floral and tea-like characteristics, often with notes of jasmine, citrus, and stone fruit.


While this lot has plenty of these qualities, a 3-step fermentation process has facilitated a texture much juicier, silkier, syrupy than you’d expect. Two oxygen-rich stages and one oxygen-free have helped drive a cup rich, sweet and intensely fruity.


Producer


The multi-farm group Café Granja La Esperanza is a pillar of Colombian coffee. Celebrated for its innovation, quality, and dedication to the highest quality coffee. Established in 1945 by Juan Antonio Herrera and Blanca Ligia Correa, the farm built itself a solid reputation for Typica, Bourbon and Caturra coffees.
More recently, the Herrera family - particularly sons Rigoberto and Luis – have transformed the farm to produce a regular stream of competition-grade coffees.
La Esperanza operates several farms across the Valle del Cauca department, each with unique microclimates and coffees expressive of these.


- Cerro Azul: Specialises in Geisha coffees.

        Variety — Geisha
        Terroir — 1700-2000 masl, temperate tropical climate
        Process — Semi-washed, Assisted Fermentation
This is a classic Geisha coffee – a highly complex flavour profile, sweet floral aromas and delicate textures. This lot was fermented first in an oxygen-free environment, then in an oxygen-rich.


The intention with multi-step fermentation processes is that the microbes created in different environments facilitate different flavour and texture qualities in the cup, driving notably complex profiles. The coffee was then de-pulped and dried.
The result is a Geisha full of archetypal qualities, with some rich fruit flavours and juicy textures promoted by the intentional and controlled post-harvest techniques.

Unprecedented climatic conditions contributed to 75% of Mio's 2024 crop being classified as not ripe, of which 90% was overripe. Data-driven fermentation protocols - designed by Professor Lucas Louzada and his team - were applied to three lots from this harvest to rescue their cup score and it is these coffees that form this series.⁣
