This coffee features the Aramosa variety, a rare cross of Arabica and Racemosa, grown at 1000-1150 meters on the Rio Brilhante farm in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Produced by the Urban family on their multi-generation operation, the coffee is naturally low in caffeine at 0.7-0.8%, approximately half the caffeine of regular coffee. Cherries are hand-picked and hand-sorted, then undergo 36 hours of fermentation before drying on patios for 15 days using natural processing. The cup profile offers floral aromatics and bright citrus notes with flavor notes of macadamia, milk chocolate, and blackberry.
The Good Coffee Cartel was established in 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland by co-founders Todd Whiteford and Courtney Patrick Brennan. The roastery gained recognition for its distinctive zero-waste approach to coffee distribution, supplying their beans in reusable and recyclable tin containers. Their flagship location in Kinning Park on Glasgow's Southside roasts coffee in-house and sources baked goods from local artisan suppliers. The roastery has built an international reputation through its commitment to ecological practices and high-quality specialty coffee available both locally and globally.
