Bukonzo Dream is a naturally processed coffee from the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda. Produced by AgriEvolve, this Arabica coffee is grown in a region characterized by steep slopes and high elevations. The flavor profile features tropical fruit notes, cherry sweetness, and a caramel finish. This coffee is suitable for various brewing methods including espresso and filter.
Old Spike Roastery was founded in 2014 by Richard Robinson and Cemel Ezel in Peckham, South London, as what they describe as the first specialty coffee roaster to operate as a social enterprise. Sixty five percent of profits fund their mission to reduce homelessness through training, employment, and ongoing support. The roastery runs a barista training academy at its Loughborough Junction site, and their first employee, Lucy, was hired from a Big Issue position. They roast on a traditional machine named Torberg, working with direct trade, specialty grade Arabica. The operation is carbon neutral, with recyclable or compostable packaging and a partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects that plants a tree for every bag sold.
