Mid-afternoon Matteo

Toffee, malt & red fruits

An uplifting all-rounder with a silky sweet kick. Vibrant & Balanced. Toffee, malt & red fruits.

Our most vibrant espresso blend.

A lighter style of espresso, built for less intensity without losing complexity. Sweet and subtle with milk, brighter and more layered on its own.

Works through an espresso machine or a filter brewer. This is the one we reach for mid-afternoon, when something heavier doesn't fit.

COLOMBIA EL INDIO 25%

ASOPEP has built a strong reputation since forming in 2013, under the leadership of Camilo Enciso Suarez. This is our fourth year buying from this group. Every member goes through ongoing quality training, which shows up consistently in the cup.
Only ripe cherries are hand-picked, then hand-sorted again to remove any defects. The coffee is sun-dried on raised beds under controlled temperatures, with cherries turned regularly until they reach the right moisture for full flavour development.
