UK coffee roastery launches three new single-origin coffees
Boa Vista Monteiro Fermented Brazil
Northwest UK coffee roaster, John Farrer & Co of Kendal, and the UK’s oldest, has launched three new additions to its ‘Signature’ speciality coffee collection.
The Signature collection complements the company’s diverse line of coffees, focusing specifically on small-batch seasonal single-origin offerings from across the globe. This is a project born out of passion and a love of the very best coffee. Farrer’s dedicated team of roasters have painstakingly handpicked and selected premium single-origin coffees from some of the most sought-after coffee crops produced from small single-estate plantations.
The latest additions to the range include Boa Vista, a coffee from Brazil, in South America. Boa Vista Farm is a 52-hectare farm run by Anderson Monteiro, whose family first became involved in coffee production in the 1970s and ever since has been producing quality innovative coffee. This particular coffee has a distinctive creamy body bursting with notes of tropical fruits, lemon and honey, rounded off with a floral finish.
The second coffee is from La Gloria Estate, in Panama, Central America. Finca La Gloria is located in the highlands of Boquete and is part of the estate owned by Norberto Suarez and his family. It was first registered as a farm in 1904 and has been growing in this renowned coffee-producing area ever since. This coffee has a smooth body, with some background citrus notes and flavours of tropical fruit and caramel.
The third coffee is Mubuga Natural from northern Burundi, in Central East Africa. Mubuga Washing Station, located in the Ngozi region of Burundi, is owned by Bugental, a family-owned farm-to-roaster business, which supplies a network of very small-scale farmers. This coffee is complex, with notes of blackcurrant, and stone fruits including ripe plums, finishing with hints of dark chocolate and smooth caramel.
