For those of you who only associate the term "blend" with budget-friendly blends of classic Brazilian, it's time to break the boring dogma! This jar contains 69% of sweet Guatemala and 31% of what-just-came-to-a-roaster's-mind. The result? Always sweet. Always fruity. Always surprising! Oh, and always over 86 points, because that's the only kind of coffee we have on the menu. This is a polyjuice Elixir, stirring up emotions like when you open a surprise gift. To be enjoyed every day or on special occasions, for those who demand more from their daily brew or for those who demand an exceptional price from exceptional coffee. Suitable to start your adventure with Heresies (beware, it's addictive)! Specialty coffee blend roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice Champion. 69% of sweet Guatemalan and 31% of mysterious but always fruity and floral arabica of the highest quality. A profile with high intensity, depth and always fruity character! Country: Huehuetenango, Guatemala / somewhere cool Producer: Diana & Hector Ovalle / some other pro Farm: Las Codornices / somewhere beautiful Cultivar: caturra / something nice Processing: washed / something cool Altitude: 1900 m.a.s.l. / somewhere high Harvest: always fresh Cup score: always minimum 86 / 100 points PROCESSING A classic washed, just as the lord commanded. Depulping, washing, a moment of fermentation in the tank and drying in the ideal conditions of the dry part of Huehuetenango. THE FARM Las Codornices is a unique place - a farm located in the heart of the driest area in Huehuetenengo, where... no one grows coffee. Well, almost no one! Diana and Hector have created a unique terroir by doing the almost impossible. The plantation is irrigated using a meticulously designed irrigation system, based on reservoirs and water from the river flowing in the valley. A world original! ROASTER'S COMMENT It is impossible to drink the same blend twice. Heraclitus knew this, and we believe the guy. However, he had no way of grasping the fact that life is like the helium-6 isotope - a wildly unstable joke of the universe. We know that, and that's how Elixir came to be! Insanely unstable, always sweet. Every time different, every time fruity as hell. We dump the best coffees in it, because who can say no? Take a sip of Elixir and feel like... whatever you want! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.

Specialty beans from Kenya roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile characterised by candy sweetness, ripe blueberry acidity and a silky texture. Country: Kenya Region: Northern Rift Valley Farm: Endebess Estate Varietal: Kenyan varietals mix Processing: natural Altitude: 1750 - 1950 m a.s.l. Harvest: November - December 2022 Cupping score: 87.5 / 100 pts PROCESSING A small river, the Koitobos, runs close to the farm - the ripe fruit is washed with water taken from this very rivulet and then dried whole on African beds. The process usually takes between 21 and 28 days. THE FARM Endebess Estate is a plantation located in a slightly less popular region of Kenya, the Northern Rift Valley, very close to the border with Uganda. The farm itself sits at the foot of Mount Elgon, a now extinguished volcano that lies on the border between the countries. ROASTER'S COMMENT Kenya natural! But what do you mean? Increasingly, this process is appearing in coffees from a country associated as a mecca for washed-down processing. We've drunk some of these Kenyan naturals over the past few years, but this is the first one we've enjoyed 100%. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Some 75% of all coffee produced in the world comes from Brazil, the vast majority being commercial grand blends from around the region. In the world of speciality coffee, we have to deal with those as well. That's why we created the Antidote, a coffee that is an antidote to the flood of santos, cerrados, and other coffees, that are far from transparent and demonstrating the producer's role in the whole process. This is for fans of the classics who do not let go of quality. For those who value true fair trade. The first classic brazil in our range! Specialty quality bean coffee, roasted at Heresy roastery by the 2020 Roasting Runner-up. Light roasted, designed for pour-over brewing methods or pour-over in a cup. A profile with a classic Brazilian flavour, with nut and chocolate notes, in the highest quality. Country: Brazil Producer: 20 members of San Coffee Cooperative Farm: San Coffee Varietal: mundo novo, topazio, catuai Processing: natural Altitude: 900 - 1200 m a.s.l. PROCESSING 20 manufacturers, the same natural processing technique calibrated between them. Thanks to close cooperation and rigid standards, each lot is processed and dried in an almost identical manner. THE FARM San Coffee is a rarity in Brazil. Most co-operatives in the country are made up of hundreds or thousands of producers, whose role is often limited to just supplying the coffee, nothing else. San Coffee is made up of only 20 producers who also own the company, with equally distributed shares of 5% each. We have been working with them since the very beginning of Heresy, presenting fruity microlots like Taquaral, Campo Alegre and Samambaia. This time it's time for the classic product of their work! ROASTER'S COMMENT In the cup as classically as possible. Acidity practically invisible, shadow work. Chocolate and nuts in the liquid form. You know what I mean! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

What is created by the merger of Guatemala and Guatemala? Even more Guatemala in Guatemala! This country is our beloved region to which we make regular trips, always surprising us with the variety of coffees it can serve. If you associate Guatemala with classic flavours, then Amigo, we envy you how much more you get to discover! We hope you enjoy some marmalade! A blend of specialty quality beans, roasted at Heresy roastery by the 2020 Roasting Vice Champion. Medium roast, designed for espresso, coffeemaker or cup brewing. A profile balanced in flavour, combining classic and fruitier notes, providing an experience for both traditional and modern espresso fans. A versatile espresso - both for shots and milky coffees. Both for the café and for the home. Available permanently in the heretical offer! Country: Guatemala Producer: smallholders from Jalapa Farm: San Martin and Santa Rosa Varietal: caturra and bourbon Processing: washed and natural Altitude: 1600 - 2200 m a.s.l. PROCESSING Here we have a combination of washed and natural processing of caturra and bourbon coffees. San Martin is a classic washed. Santa Rosa is a more naturally fermented varietal. A washed-natural blend! THE FARM The San Martin and Santa Rosa coffees are blends from small local producers in the Jalapa region. Their harvests are combined and processed together as a single lot. ROASTER'S COMMENT Once again we apply the equation here: very good + very good ≤ very good. In the base, deep caramel sweetness and plenty of jammy fruitiness, just the kind of dark blue, from the forest. And as a joker, a vinous-tropical natural. The synergy of the 21st century. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty coffee from Brazil, roasted in Poland at Heresy roastery by Roasting 2020 Polish Vice Champion - Piotr Jeżewski. A light roast, recommended for filter or cup brewing. A surprising profile atypical of beans from Brazil, with pronounced tropical fruit and wine notes. Country: Brazil Region: Campo das Vertentes Producer: Henrique Cambria Farm: Campo Alegre Varietal: obata Processing: natural Altitude: 1000 - 1200 m a.s.l. Cupping score: 87.25  / 100 pts PROCESSING The so-called 'natural in pile'. Fruits throughout the fruit are spread on African beds and a special long cone shape is formed. The restricted access to air causes the temperature inside the pile to rise, accelerating the fermentation processes. These are responsible for the fruity depth and vinous character of this super-sweet coffee! THE FARM Campo Alegre is a farm owned by a true Brazilian coffee legend, Henrique Cambria. Last summer, Henrique hosted us at his beautiful home, from which we made a base for exploring the surrounding plantations. Knowledge, experience and a bag of amazing anecdotes - we soaked it all up from this amazing pro until the wee hours of the night. ROASTER'S COMMENT Quite a freak. Sweet and winey, a little wild but still on the leash. Fruity and fresh, but also chocolatey and deep. Well, it seems to have worked! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty beans from Guatemala roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. A light roast, ideal for filter or cup brewing. The grains are characterised by a sweet, fruity profile with a pronounced winy character and high intensity. Country: Guatemala Region: Nuevo Oriente Producer: mali producenci w regionie Farm: El Boqueron Varietal: caturra, bourbon Processing: natural Altitude: 1300 - 1500 m a.s.l. Harvest: January 2023 Cupping score: 87 / 100 pts THE FARM Santa Rosa is now one of the largest coffee-producing regions in Guatemala. This flight comes from the El Boqueron station, to which the coffee is supplied by small producers who grow coffee nearby. THE PROCESSING Natural, in that slightly funky direction. Fermentation and subsequent drying throughout the fruit. Simply, concretely, without alchemy, but with precision and skills. ROASTER'S COMMENT In addition to the high caramel-chocolate sweetness, you'll find no less vinous-tropical vibes and a powerful body. A successful balance between tried-and-tested classics and sensory nouveau riche. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty beans from Guatemala roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile featuring high articulation and  sweetness, clear floral notes and intense fruitiness. Country: Guatemala Region: Acatenango Producer: Raul Perez Farm: El Llano Varietal: Yellow catuai Processing: Washed Altitude: 1600 m a.s.l. Harvest: January - February 2022 Cupping score: 86.5 / 100 pts PROCESSING The harvested fruit ferments for up to 40 hours after picking and only then is it depulped. Drying in style - on African beds! As a result of years of experimentation, Raul always keeps a thick layer of beans, which he mixes every 40-60 minutes, depending on the sunlight at the time. The entire drying process takes 12-14 days. THE FARM El LLano is a boutique farm whose grounds start literally a few meters from the front door of Raul's house. Located in the beautiful Acatenango region, it is the little sister of the more popular La Soledad. ROASTER'S COMMENT This lot shows how a botanical variety and the right approach in the process can change the profile of a coffee that grows a few dozen metres next to a more classic caturra. Yellow catuai offers much more fruitiness, complexity and floral notes!  I've been cupping this lot from Raul year after year for the last four years, and every time it's my favourite coffee from El Llano. Clean as a teardrop and sweet as a mirabelle from a country roadside. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty beans from Costa Rica roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile featuring superb sweetness, rich winey acidity and fruity-floral articulation. Kraj pochodzenia ziarna: Costa Rica Region: Brunca Producer: rodzina Ureña Farm: Cafe Rivense Varietal: catuai Processing: sealed fermentation black honey Altitude: 1700 m a.s.l. Harvest: 2023 Cupping score: 87+ / 100 pts PROCESSING This is where Regulo and his sons went all the way. Before the coffee was processed as black honey (lots of mucilage on the beans), it fermented for over 24 hours in sealed containers. The whole process was rigidly controlled by these pros, cause we all want to drink coffee, not kombucha, right? This cup is a crazy party, but without the hangover the next day! THE FARM Coffees from Cafe Rivense are another direct trade among our heretical selection. We visited this beautiful farm, nestled among the greenest mountains of central Costa Rica last March. Well - the family business of the Ureña family, where everything runs like a Swiss watch. La Guaca is a high-altitude plantation on the farm where basically only one arabica cultivar is grown - catuai - probably the most popular variety in these coffee regions. ROASTER'S COMMENT A coffee with a turbo-intense, a bit crazy profile. There's funk, there's fruit, there's some natural wine as well. All beautifully rounded off though. It's like a tuxedoed philharmonic orchestra playing a Carl Carlton cover. If we were giving tasting notes, I'd say there's even bubble gum here. But we don't, obviously! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty beans from Uganda roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile characterised by a high sweetness of tropical fruits and wine notes. Country: Uganda Farm: Ibero, Bulambuli Varietal: SL28 and SL14 Processing: natural Altitude: 1700 - 2300 m a.s.l. Harvest: February 2023 Cupping score: 87.5 / 100 pts PROCESSING A classic of the genre. The cherries are dried whole, some in the shade, some in the sun! THE FARM Several hundred small producers supply cherries to the Bulambuli washing station.  All these mini-farms are heavily family-owned ventures. Very much like in Kenya. Another similarity: here we have the well-known Kenyan SL varieties, in this case 14 and 28, coming from high lots. Did we mention anything about the similarity with Kenya? The coffee you are reading about is grown on the border with this country, on the other side of Mount Elgon. ROASTER'S COMMENT Such an archetypical African natural coffee, we would say. A noticeable processing method, but not so brutally. Lots of fruit, flowers in the background. Balanced. So good! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty coffee from Brazil, roasted in Poland at Heresy roastery by Roasting 2020 Polish Vice Champion - Piotr Jeżewski. A light roast, recommended for filter or cup brewing.

ROASTER'S COMMENT Talk of " unusual Brazilian coffees" is slowly becoming an anachronism, as for many years the origin's microlots have been proving how damaging stereotypes can be. And that's why, for the third season in a row, we're offering here fruity-winey, deep coffees from Campo das Vertentes, produced by some of the best farmers in the country!

Harvest: December 2022 Cupping score: 88 / 100 pts PROCESSING A washed process in Kenya is like freezing cold vodka on the table during Polish feast. Typical and must be! Before being stripped of their dign..., sorry, of the cherries, the beans are first sorted. Then they spend the night doing crazy things, that is fermenting. The next morning - a splash of water to tidy up! Then recuperating in the sun from 8 to 14  days. THE FARM A few hundred small farmers, hand-picked, selected fruits, all land at the coop-owned washing station and then they’re embraced by real pros who know what it's all about. A Kenyan classic, that's how it almost always works there. ROASTER'S COMMENT Another fresh, fruity bomb! Lots of depth, sweetness and lemonade freshness. This season's Kenya is prima sort. Mr Oppenheimer would be proud! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact! A plastic jar turns out to be pretty eco-friendly, just remember to put it in the right container, or find a creative way to reuse it at home.

Specialty beans from Guatemala roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile characterised by deep caramel sweetness and ripe fruity acidity. Country: Guatemala Region: Acatenango Producer: Roxana & Mariela Melendez Farm: Monte Verde Varietal: anacafe 14 Processing: washed Altitude: 1450 - 1700 m a.s.l. Harvest: January - February 2022 Cupping score: 86 / 100 pts PROCESSING The harvested fruits are peeled and ferment in a tank for 24 hours. Everything happens in a small washing station built by the Melendez sisters a few years ago. Then the classic option: the grains are dried on the patio until they reach optimum moisture content. THE FARM Monte Verde are two sisters who manage a small farm together. For a long time were selling their entire harvest to a nearby cooperative. A few years ago they built a small washing station and became partly independent! This is the first year we bought coffee from the "Green Mountain". A fairly new varietal developed by Guatemala's Anacafe institute offers purity, sweetness and an evident fruity character. The good stuff! ROASTER'S COMMENT Anacafe 14 has revolutionised Guatemalan growers' crops in recent years. Large yields, high quality potential and relatively high resistance to the most common diseases affecting the coffee tree - it has succeeded! In the cup, the classic Acatenango profile: high sweetness, purity, balance and fruity character. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact!

Specialty beans from Kenya, roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Medium roast, designed to be brewed in an espresso machine, or coffee machine or poured in a cup. A profile featuring high, fruity juiciness, great depth and lots of character. Very intense espresso, a veritable bomb of flavour! Country: Kenya Region: Kiambu Producer: Muhara Factory Varietal: SL 28, SL 34, Ruiru 11, Batian Processing: washed Altitude: 1600 - 1800 m a.s.l.

THE FARM A few hundred small farmers, hand-picked, selected fruits, all land at the coop-owned washing station and then they’re embraced by real pros who know what it's all about. A Kenyan classic, that's how it almost always works there. ROASTER'S COMMENT I drank this coffee to the point of drunkenness while judging an Aeropress competition. Jammy, juicy, complex with tons of elegant florals. In the espresso edition - a total accumulation of flavour! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty cascara - died skin of coffee cherries from Guatemala. A profile characterized by superb sweetness and acidity of tropical fruits. An intense, complex and mouth-watering brew! Country: Guatemala Region: Acatenango Producer: Julio Melendez Farm: El Zapote Cultivar: geisha Processing: natural Altitude: 1300 - 1550 m.a.s.l. Harvest: February 2022 PROCESSING Here we have a pure geisha fruit from natural processing. We asked Julio this year to separate this cascara, which was then hand-searched to get rid of any impurities. Mother dear. Holy Lord. The whole symphony orchestra came out of it. THE FARM El Zapote is one of those farms that evoked hard to describe, extremely positive emotions. Beautifully situated at the base of two volcanoes, with wilderness at the bottom, add a rushing, winding river and a jungle vibe. Julio is a great guy, with a vast knowledge of coffee and a sleeve full of anecdotes. Open-minded, willing to experiment and engaging in unusual practices - we'll show the results of his work more than once! ROASTER'S COMMENT While serving this cascara, we get asked if we added sugar. And that's probably enough for a hundred words! PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty beans from Kenya roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile characterised by high sweetness with a clear and dense spicy layer, ripe fruity acidity and chocolaty depth. Country: Costa Rica Region: Los Santos Farm: Finca Toñita Mill: Palmichal Varietal: caturra Processing: natural cinnamon anaerobic Altitude: 1450 m a.s.l. Harvest: January - February 2023 Cupping score: 87+ / 100 pts PROCESSING And so Olman Ureña, owner of a farm with the charming name Toñita, decided to ferment his caturra anaerobically, in a barrel. He added freshly ground cinnamon to the cauldron and, using precise measurements of pH or sugar concentration, held this elixir in the wild environment for 96 hours. Then drying on African beds and there we have it. A coffee that is hard to pass by indifferently. PRODUCER Palmichal is a mill established very recently, in 2015. The mill cooperates with nearby top farms in the region and stands out for its modern approach to processing. The main idea behind this establishment is the desire to produce lots that will stand out from the rest of the origin coffees. ROASTER'S COMMENT Could there be a more heretical coffee? Olman fermented these beans with fresh cinnamon in sealed tanks. Extremely sweet, aromatic, with a clear and dense spicy layer, ripe fruity acidity and a chocolaty depth. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty beans from Honduras, roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile characterised by notes of tropical fruits, wine (or other spirits), and lots of sweetness. The alternative processing gives the coffee bold flavours that can surprise! Country: Honduras Region: Chinacla, La Paz Producer: Marysabel Caballero, Moises Herrera Farm: El Puente Varietal: Catuai Processing: Extended fermentation natural Altitude: 1550 - 1970 m a.s.l. Harvest: January 2023 Cupping score: 87 / 100 pts PROCESSING Before spreading out to dry, Moises left the ripe cherries in a pile, and these fermented wildly on their own. Then, boom - onto the African beds. There's fruit, there's funk and there's candy-like sweetness! THE FARM Marysabel comes from a family with over 100 years of coffee growing tradition, and she started her own farm, El Puente, with her husband 25 years ago. With a focus on developing high quality beans, they have become regional leaders and Cup of Excellence finalists. Marysabel and Moises consider social and environmental sustainability integral to the coffee production process. An innate curiosity has led them into growing multiple botanical varieties and experimental bean processing. ROASTER'S COMMENT This lot from Marysabel is the biggest freak we've had on offer, and we've been putting coffees from El Puente in jars since the very beginning, every season. This is a liquid funk. Take it if you like wine, the heat of the tropics and a stomp to Bad Mama Jama! HERESY Heresy is a new Polish roastery offering a selection of the most interesting microlots scored at least 86 points. The brand emphasizes the role of the farm in shaping the taste of coffee, works directly with farmers, and reforms the approach to coffee by challenging popular myths and habits. The beans are packaged in convenient jars that are fully recyclable or reusable.

Specialty beans from Kenya roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing.

Country: Kenya Region: Kirinyaga Varietal: Kenyan cultivars mix Processing: washed Farm: Kainamui Factory Altitude: 1600 - 1800 m n.p.m. Harvest: 2023 Cupping score: 88 / 100 pts PROCESSING A washed process in Kenya is like freezing cold vodka on the table during Polish feast. Typical and must be! Before being stripped of their dign..., sorry, of the cherries, the beans are first sorted. Then they spend the night doing crazy things, that is fermenting. The next morning - a splash of water to tidy up! Then recuperating in the sun from 8 to 14  days. THE FARM Kainamui is a group of many local farmers, run by the New Ngariama Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS) - a group characterised by really exceptional coffees and some 'success stories'. In addition to great beans, producers in this group get a very large percentage of the coffee price, as well as financial support for school fees, for example. ROASTER'S COMMENT Well, ladies and gentlemen.  Great things happening here, because if it's not the best, it's definitely the TOP3 Kenya we've ever had on the menu. The complexity, depth, transparency and clarity of the flavour notes swept us off the board. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Specialty beans from Rwanda, roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Polish Roasting Vice-Champion. Light roast, designed for filter or cup brewing. A profile featuring a superb sweetness, big body and complex notes of red fruits and florals. Country: Rwanda Region: Bukure Producer: Nova Coffee / smallholder farmers Varietal: Bourbon Processing: Natural Altitude: 1800 - 2000 m a.s.l. Harvest: July 2022 Cupping score: 87 / 100 pts PROCESSING This lot was processed as a natural - the harvested fruit was spread out to dry without pre-treatment or separation of the stone from the rest of the cherry. Here we have the1 typical high fruity sweetness from the process, but also a wonderfully captured characteristic of the bean itself. Beautiful! THE FARM Nova Coffee is in the hands of Agnes and Felix, a married couple who founded the company relatively recently, in 2015. They are both coffee producers from a 155-hectare farm, as well as exporters working with thousands of small producers. The entire crop is located in the northern part of the country, around Lake Muhazi - google it and drop your jaw. ROASTER'S COMMENT I grinded a dozen coffees for cupping, as I always do in a blind session, and I couldn't help but stop at the aroma of this lot. Its candy-like, fruity-floral character is something we always look for in the world's most exciting coffees. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle).

Whole-bean Fine Robusta from Uganda, roasted at Heresy by the 2020 Roasting Vice Champion - Piotr Jeżewski. Light roast, designed for pour-over brewing methods or a regular cup brew. A profile characterised by the sweetness of dried red fruits and notes of jam, chocolate and fine wood. Country: Uganda Region: Mubende district Producer: Neumann Kaffe Gruppe Station: Kaweri Varietal: heirloom robusta mutations Processing: yeast fermented natural Altitude: 1300 m a.s.l. PROCESSING Additional selected yeasts were added to the whole fruit to model the flavour profile. Perhaps that's where this jam comes from? PRODUCER The Kaweri station belongs to the Neumann Kaffe Gruppe and was founded in the early 2000s to grow robusta. The coffee is grown practically at the latitude of the equator. Only canephora is grown here, so we are dealing with a specialised establishment! ROASTER'S COMMENT So there you have it! The second robusta in our heresy crusade. Uganda this time. A lot of jamminess and dried fruits. But what, you thought it would be without controversy? Nope-e! In the cup, too, such heebie-jeebies as fine wood, the kind from those fancy perfumes that are so fashionable now, my dear lady. PACKAGING The coffee is packed in a brown jar made of PET, 100% recyclable or reusable. In case you're thinking "oh no, plastic!", bear in mind that standard coffee packaging is also made of plastic (and a few other materials, making it often harder to recycle). We also thought about glass, but it's heavier, more expensive, breakable and, wait for it, has the same or greater (sic!) environmental impact!

Kawa ziarnista jakości specialty pochodząca z Ugandy, wypalona w palarni Heresy przez Wicemistrza Polski Roasting 2020. Palona jasno, przeznaczona do przelewowych metod parzenia lub zalania w kubku. Profil charakteryzujący się wysoką owocowością, na którą składają się czerwone i tropikalne owoce, oraz herbacianymi i kwiatowymi nutami, typowymi dla kaw z Afryki. Kraj pochodzenia ziarna: Uganda Farma: Zinule Odmiana: SL28 i SL14 Obróbka: Washed Położenie upraw: 1700 - 2300 m n.p.m. Zbiór: luty 2023 Wynik w cuppingu: 86.5 / 100 punktów OBRÓBKA Klasyka gatunku. Wiśnie są oddzielane od pestki, fermentowane, a następnie zmywane i rozsypywane do suszenia. FARMA Kilkuset małych producentów dostarcza wiśnie do stacji myjącej Bulambuli. Wszystkie te mini-farmy są przedsięwzięciami mocno rodzinnymi. Bardzo podobnie jak w Kenii. Kolejna zbieżność: mamy tu znane kenijskie odmiany SL, w tym przypadku 14 i 28, pochodzące z wysokich partii. Wspominaliśmy coś o podobieństwie z Kenią? Kawa, o której czytasz, uprawiana jest na granicy z tym krajem, po drugiej stronie góry Elgon. OPINIA ROASTERA Na pierwszy rzut ultra czysty, owocowy i elegancki washed. Gdyby tak smakowały wszystkie myte kawy, nikt w przeszłości nie pomyślałby o kombinowaniu! OPAKOWANIE Kawa spakowana jest w brązowy słoik wykonany z PET, w 100% nadający się do recyklingu lub ponownego wykorzystania. I jeśli teraz myślisz „o nie, plastik!”, to pamiętaj, że standardowe opakowania na kawę są także z plastiku (i kilku innych materiałów, przez co często są trudniejsze do przetworzenia). Myśleliśmy też o szkle, ale jest cięższe, droższe, tłucze się i, uwaga, ma taki sam lub większy (sic!) wpływ na środowisko! Plastikowy słoik okazuje się być całkiem eco-friendly, pamiętaj tylko o wrzuceniu go do odpowiedniego pojemnika, albo znajdź kreatywny sposób, by wykorzystać go w domu.
