This time next week we’ll be hosting the inaugural Scottish Roasters’ Forum and we are so looking forward to welcoming our Scottish coffee roasting community to Aberfeldy for this special opportunity to come together, network and knowledge share.

Organised in collaboration with Cuppers' Union the day will be made of a series of informative talks and discussions as well as more technical workshops by experts in the industry. Swipe to see the line up and meet our amazing 2026 speakers…

Cupping Alternative Species with John Thompson of Coffee Nexus

Eugenoides, Libex, Liberia, Racemosa… we’ve heard the names, now let’s taste them all on one table. Do these species hold the promise of a more climate resilient coffee industry?

From importer to producer: reflections on the challenges of growing coffee.

Javier Guitierrez of Caribbean Goods has set up the only Scottish coffee importing business. Now he’s taking on a new challenge in his home country by establishing his own coffee farm. He’ll talk about challenges facing producers and his own struggles as a small independent importer.

Rachel Beebe of Cuppers' Union will be hosting the day’s events as well as leading a panel discussion on Building Resilient Coffee Businesses.

Ww will speak to three Scottish roastery owners and learn their secrets to operating successfully in a fickle industry and uncertain world. And we’ll ask how can we find stability and resilience by building community and leaning on each other?

Maximum impact, minimum effort: how to make efficient sourcing decisions

Roland Glew, green coffee buyer for Ozone, explains how to build a strategic green buying programme. His new project strategic.coffee helps small and medium roasteries get the most from their sourcing through education, support and collaboration.

Working with volatility, not against it – navigating uncertainty in the green coffee market.

Rory Gowan of CARAVELA COFFEE explains how volatility is not going anywhere, so the question is how you work with it rather than against it. This is not about taking risks but about understanding the situation better and being more decisive – because indecision carries its own cost that quietly

Single origin subscribers are in for a real treat this month with a particularly delicious offering from the amazing team at Bette Buna. The coffee is also available as a single origin on our website so if you haven’t had a chance to try some yet now’s the time because when it’s gone it’s gone (overall volumes of washed Ethiopian coffees have been tight this year!)

Bette Buna, meaning “House of Coffee,” is based in the highlands of Taferi Kela, Sidamo, where coffee production is closely connected to community life and local opportunity. What began as a family responsibility has developed into a wider effort to produce high-quality coffee while supporting long-term development for farming communities. The company also works with local producers in Guji and this signature washed lot is from here, from producer Hasan Ware, and processed at the Megadu wet mill.

We’re huge fans of Guji coffee and are loving the citrus, jasmine and peachy notes we get in the cup. A real treat!

Just over one year ago Dave Girling opened the doors on his new sauna experience in the heart of the highlands. His wood fired sauna, WildEmber Bothy, is sensitively sited on the north shore of Loch Tay in a beautiful wooded area of Perthshire, not far from the Scottish Crannog Centre.

A psychotherapist and canoe coach by trade, Dave has blended his love for the outdoors with a desire to create a sanctuary for relaxation and wellbeing in a ‘plugged in’ and over stimulated world. When Jamie caught up with Dave outside of his sauna he was in a contemplative mood, reflecting back on his first year in business on the edge of wild woods and open water.

THE FERMENTATION PROJECT 💫

We are very excited to be taking part in The Fermentation Project; a live global tasting event led by James Hoffmann James Hoffmann (award-winning coffee professional, author, and communicator), Lucia Solis Lucia Solis (coffee fermentation and processing specialist), and CARAVELA COFFEE (our sourcing partner).

We’re one of 120 roasters taking part in this worldwide event (and one of only two in Scotland - shout out to our friends The Coffee Apothecary 🙌) and we can’t wait to share these coffees with you.

We will be roasting 4 coffees - all the same varieties from the same farm, Finca San Miguel Urias in Antigua, Guatemala but each of the coffees will have been processed by a different fermentation technique - a mechanically demucilaged (the control, with minimal microbial intervention), a 48 hour wild fermentation, a Lactobacillus inoculation and a yeast inoculation.

This will be a fascinating opportunity to understand how through fermentation you can enhance the production of flavour, body, acidity and complexity of coffee.

The coffee bundles are now available for pre-order on our website and we wanted to give you a heads up that they are SELLING FAST. You can choose between 4 x 100g or 4 x 250g bags. We’ll be roasting these and sending them out in mid September for cupping along with the live event on October 3rd. Looking forward to sharing this coffee adventure with you!
