February 2025 roasters selection

  • Hydrangea

    Hydrangea is the first roaster for this box with their exceptional Thermal Shock Decaf from Finca El Paraiso! It's a thermal shock washed Castillo coffee by Samuel Diego Bermudez and tastes like raspberries, peach, and key lime! This is the first time this decaf from Hydrangea is available in the UK! 

  • Onyx

    Onyx is our second roaster with one of the most impressive decafs we've ever had, Red Fruits by Sebastian Ramirez, a unique fruit-infused decaffeinated micro-lot. Super fruity — think of strawberry and banana with milk chocolate sweetness. 

  • Hatch

    Hatch is our third roaster with one of the most unusual and innovative decafs out there, Los Nogales Caturra decaf. This is unlike any decaf you've had before with strong herbal and fruity notes. Another Los Nogales decaf was used by the winner of the US Brewers' Cup last year, so this is one not to be missed!

  • Zennor

    The UK roaster for February is... Zennor! Scotland seems to have some of the best roasters lately and Glasgow based Zennor is definitely one of the finest. Their light roasted decaf is by Wilton Benitez and it's a banger. Sweet, fruity, with a jammy body this is a wonderful decaf with any method.
