After dropping her Orange Geisha for the last two harvests in a row, we were wondering why we had stopped at just one lot from her. This harvest, we have stepped in and are working with two of her exceptional lots. Do not worry, the Orange Geisha is in the pipeline, but first off we release this truly special lot - and just in time for Bristol Coffee Festival at that - see you there!

However, as she advanced in her career and gained professional experience, something was calling her back to her roots: coffee. Once she completed her studies, she began to realise that the coffee plant, just like humans, requires care, attention, and a life cycle to thrive. At that moment, her connection to the farm deepened, and the tranquillity of the countryside captivated her once again. It was then that Ángela began to reconsider her life. Coffee became part of her dreams, and she saw
