El Salvador Comasagua
Exclusivity. Everyone is looking for something different. But we're not here to sell you endangered coffee that was passed through the colon of a vegan civet before being picked and hand-roasted by a tattooed man with an avocado addiction.
Our goal is simple. Find great farmers with great beans, roast that bean with the utmost respect to optimise its flavours to their greatest potential.
Without any further ado allow me to introduce our Barista's Choice for the week: El Salvador Comasagua. Available for a limited time, exclusive to our cafe , we will also be selling just 15 bags in our retail section for you to make at home.
