Assembly Seasonal Selection

Assembly Seasonal Selection

Four coffees, selected for their character, quality and distinctiveness.

From an innovative approach to processing in Guatemala to a world-exclusive from Rwanda, this collection brings together producers exploring different ways to advance specialty coffee. Featuring a returning favourite, a pre-release and two other new coffees to explore, it's a selection we've been looking forward to sharing.

Colombia - CGLE Mandela (Guava + Cherry + Velvety)

Mandela is a unique variety developed by Café Granja La Esperanza, shaped by years of careful cultivation and a pursuit of exceptional cup quality. This lot showcases the family’s continued work with unusual varieties, exploring their potential to deliver something beyond the expected.

Rwanda – Deo Gratias Bagaragaza (Strawberry + Rooibos + Viscous)

Returning for a second year, this world-exclusive release from Deo Gratias showcases the quality of Rwanda's Nyamasheke region. Recognised for his success in local Cup of Excellence competitions, Deo Gratias has established himself as one of the region's most skilled smallholders. In 2019, he travelled to Colombia for a 10-day training programme in innovative farming practices and crop management, bringing new approaches back to his own production.

Guatemala – Santa Irene Sidra (Watermelon + Lychee + Juicy)

Carlos Estrada continues to explore the potential of Santa Irene, this time with a Sidra that highlights the variety's character and the distinctive growing conditions of Cobán. A new expression from a producer whose work continues to make this farm one to watch.

Also available in 200g/1kg.

Colombia – Cata x Zarza Pink Bourbon (Goji Berry + Green Apple + Silky)

Available as a pre-release, this Pink Bourbon showcases the Gasca family's innovative approach to processing.
