Brazil 🇧🇷 & Colombia 🇨🇴: The Two Titans of the Coffee World! ☕

🇧🇷 Producing about a third of the world’s coffee, Brazil is all about rich tradition and incredible scale. Growing on vast, sun-drenched highlands, the coffee beans are famous for their heavy body, low acidity, and gorgeous notes of chocolate, caramel, and toasted nuts. It’s the ultimate, smooth backbone of a perfect espresso!

🇨🇴 Grown on the steep, volcanic slopes of the Andes, Colombian coffee is a labor of pure love—every single cherry is meticulously hand-picked! Typically washed-processed, it brings a beautifully balanced cup to the table, celebrated for its bright citrus acidity, medium body, and delicate floral and fruity notes.

Would you like to try them? You can find us this weekend at the Brancepeth Castle Summer Fair along with many other great artisans. We love the environment of this event: warm weather, outdoor activities, and great people. ** Ah... and we will be selling our cold brew, just as we always have done there!**

Friday, 24th July: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

This time we took part of a SCA Sensorial Skills training course in coffee. The excellent training was delivered by Julian Loayza at the .london where we covered the main aspects of organosensation in coffee production and quality control.

It was also a practical refresher to stay on top of the new aspects introduced by the SCA for assessing taste, quality, and value in the supply chain of specialty coffee.

Special thanks to for the hospitality in London, Bartosz for hosting us at its training centre and to Julian who shared experiences from its business in Moldavia.

Last week, I had the privilege of taking part in a round-table discussion with Rachel Reeves and her team, alongside other women entrepreneurs from the North East.

It was a valuable opportunity to introduce our businesses, share our progress, and most importantly, talk openly about the challenges we face. Despite working in very different sectors, it was striking to see how many of our experiences are shared.

The high cost of running a business, the need for greater investment, and competition with businesses in the South were common themes across the discussion.

It was a truly positive experience, and we feel very grateful for the opportunity to be heard. I hope conversations like this can help create real change for businesses in our region.
