The Story

Our BS1 Espresso was designed to be an easy drinking and sweet coffee. The BS1 is built for a flat white or cappuccino, but still enjoyed as an espresso. The flavour starts out with a strong milk chocolate body, followed by a sticky caramel sweetness. On the finish there is a juicy little red fruit kick. This coffee was formed right in the heart of our city, for Bristol and for everyone.

This lot is from a dedicated community of smallholder farmers located near the town of Buesaco. Our long time partners, Jose Gomez and Pablo Guerrero, lead the Procaal cooperative, which supports local producers while also cultivating coffee on their own farms. Procaal's mission is to empower farmers by ensuring fair and sustainable prices through enhanced quality control, knowledge sharing, and a strong access to the specialty coffee market.

Representing the producers and working with us as roasters, together creating a sustainable value chain. They buy the coffee from the farmers wet and in parchment, meaning the quality of the drying is down to the cooperative and not the farmers. This ensures that there isn't room for the drying process to go wrong due to environmental factors and ensures the farmer gets paid well year round.
