This coffee is from Finca Galeras farm in Consacá, Nariño, Colombia, produced by Roberto Melo. The coffee is processed using traditional washed methods. The varieties grown include Castillo, Caturra, Colombia, and Typica. The farm experienced challenging weather conditions in 2023, and Roberto implemented heavy pruning and selective replanting to ensure future crop quality.
Monmouth Coffee Company was founded in 1978 by Nick Saunders and Anita Le Roy on Monmouth Street in Covent Garden. It is widely regarded as a pioneer of third wave coffee in London. The roastery operates from five railway arches in Bermondsey, using energy efficient Loring roasters. Monmouth sources from single farms, estates, and cooperatives through long term contracts, with staff travelling regularly to origin. They have been buying directly in Huila, Colombia, since 2012. The company played a part in regenerating both Neal's Yard and Borough Market, and many of London's independent roasters trace their roots back to Monmouth's training. There are no paper cups: ceramic for staying in, reusable for taking away.
