A new edit on a fan-favourite – meet the Passionfruit Matcha Foam ✨🍵☁️

San Martín Jilotepeque – Home to Nico Hammond, Catalan de Las Mercedes and your favourite Guatemalan coffees ☕️💛.

2026-04-23

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting Nico Hammond, you’ll know exactly why we keep going back.

Nico took over his family’s farm, Catalan de Las Mercedes () in Chimaltenango, Guatemala, at a young age and has been quietly doing incredible things ever since. With a background in agricultural engineering, he separates every lot by variety and obsesses over his processing — and it shows. This year we’re proud to offer two distinct coffees from the farm: Catalan Natural and Catalan Red Bourbon.

Our co-founder Andy first met Nico judging at the Cup of Excellence Guatemala in 2012 and was hooked from the first sip. More than a decade of direct trade later, this remains one of our most treasured partnerships — built on friendship, shared values, and a mutual love of exceptional coffee.

Both are Rainforest Alliance Certified™ and grown with genuine care. One easy recommendation: get both. ☕

Heritage Coffee Jelly ☕🤎 Made with Heritage Instant Coffee, this one’s simple, nostalgic, and surprisingly elegant. Think bold coffee flavour, soft wobbly texture, and just the right touch of sweetness.

- 500ml hot water
- 1–2 tbsp sugar (to taste)

1. Empty the coffee packets into a jug and pour over the hot water. Stir until fully dissolved
2. Add sugar and mix to your liking
3. In a small bowl, sprinkle the Knox gelatine over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes
4. Gently warm the coffee mixture if needed, then stir in the bloomed gelatine until completely dissolved
5. Pour into a shallow dish or moulds
6. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight, until set and perfectly wobbly
7. Slice into cubes or spoon into glasses, top with cream if you like, and enjoy ☕🍮

Reflecting on the promise of growth on this rainy Spring day. We’re so grateful to the Earth for the gift of coffee, and to the farmers caring for their plants at every stage, until they are ready for the long journey to our roastery.

We’re excitedly awaiting a very special varietal, hailing from the home of our Heritage blend.

Stay tuned. We can’t wait to share this one with you.

IT'S ANA SORA DAY. 🍓 Our last release of '23 is our most anticipated. Ana Sora is a private estate in Ethiopia's Guji Zone owned by Israel Degfa. His heirloom coffees grow at soaring high altitude which slows maturation to a crawl and creates intense fruit complexity.

To lean into that complexity, it's been naturally processed and roasted on the lightest end of our spectrum.

This fruit bomb has earned it's reputation as the most adventurous coffee we source.

Available today, happy holidays. 😁☕✨
