New Coffees and changes to the Webshop

Its been all action this week at the roastery with a whole heap of new coffees arriving. With the new crops landing from South America we have fresh offerings from Brazil, Peru and Colombia as well as a coffee from Tanzania that goes by the name Ngorongoro Blue AB.

Named after the nearby Ngorongoro crater which is a UNESCO world heritage site, this is a lovely fruity bourbon from Tanzania's northern highlands.

From Brazil we have a 100% yellow bourbon from Fazenda Cachoeria da Grama. We just finished last years crop from Cachoeria last week so its great timing that the new crop is in and ready to roll.

From Peru is a new coffee for us from a group of smallholders in the Quebrada valley and from Colombia another another growers association coffee from the town of Viota.

We're particularily excited to have Colombian coffee back on the menu as it has been in short suppy for the last few years. Certain varietals of Arabica coffee are very susceptible to a plant disease known as Coffee Leaf Rust Disease and this along with heavy rains has decimated the last two Colombian crops. Although production is still lower than average, this year there is thankfully more Colombian coffee on the market and we are thrilled to be able to offer the Viota lot.

With all these new arrivals we've made a few changes to the webshop. All internet orders will now be roasted and shipped on Mondays and Thursdays. Orders received before 11am on roasting days will be shipped that day, orders after 11 will go on the following roasting day.

With the recent severe price increases in green coffee we can unfortunately no longer offer free shipping on internet orders. To combat this we now sell all our retail coffees in 335 gram bags rather than 250 grams to make sure you get the most coffee for your shipping buck. Check out the shop for full information on roasting days and shipping costs.
