This coffee is sourced from the Tacueyó Indigenous Reserva in the Northern Cauca region of Colombia. Grown by Nasa families at high altitudes between 1,800 and 2,200 meters, the extreme elevation contributes to dense, vibrant natural sugars. The coffee is a blend of Caturra, Castillo, and Typica varieties and undergoes a classic washed process, resulting in a clean and sparkling profile. It features a bright, zippy character with flavor notes of pink lemonade and brown sugar, offering a balanced and smooth body.
Hard Lines started as a small Aeropress pop up bar serving filter coffee in Cardiff and grew over several years into one of Wales's best known specialty roasters. The roastery operates out of Gwaelod y Garth, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, using two Loring eco friendly roasters: an S35 Kestrel and an S15 Falcon. They run three locations in the Cardiff area, including a café in Penylan inspired by Italian neighbourhood coffee bars. The offering rotates with seasonal fresh crop arrivals, and the brand's distinctive smiley face identity was developed with designer Cadilane.
