This seasonal espresso blend combines two fresh, new-season coffees from Colombia and Ethiopia. Each component is roasted individually to preserve its best character, then blended to create a consistent, versatile espresso that prioritises balance, sweetness and structure. The Assembly Blend works seamlessly with milk while remaining clear and expressive as a straight espresso.
This iteration brings together two dependable, high-performing origins in equal measure: 50% Balboa Regional Plus from Cauca, Colombia, and 50% Anahy from the south of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Rather than chasing novelty, the blend is built around structure, sweetness, and consistency — coffees selected for clarity of process and reliability of profile. Together they form a balanced foundation: Colombia providing lift and definition, Brazil offering depth and warmth.
Balboa Regional Plus represents a higher-tier regional offering, sourced from well-managed farms and quality-driven producer groups in Cauca. Grown at altitude and carefully processed, the coffee undergoes pulping followed by a controlled dry anaerobic fermentation of around 20 hours before slow drying in parabolic dryers to preserve stability and longevity. The result is a clean, structured cup marked by caramel sweetness, raisin depth, orange brightness, and a soft pear-like acidity. It contributes precision and gentle fruit clarity to the blend without overt ferment character.
Anahy, meaning “sweet voice” in the Tupi-Guarani language, is a natural-processed coffee grown by small scale producers in South Minas Gerais at around 1,050 metres above sea level. The region’s fertile soils, abundant sunlight, and high elevations are well known for producing coffees with chocolate and nut foundations and an easy, balanced sweetness. In the blend, Anahy anchors the profile with cocoa richness and rounded body, smoothing the brighter edges of the Colombian component. The finished cup is composed and generous: milk chocolate and toasted nuts layered with caramelised citrus and subtle dried fruit, finishing clean, sweet, and quietly assured.
