About This Coffee

This coffee is from Finca Malacara A in El Salvador, specifically from plot (tablón) five in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region. The SL28 variety seeds were first germinated at Malacara A in 2015, developing into full trees from which the next seedstock was collected, germinated, and planted out on this plot. The coffee is processed using a traditional washed method. The farm selects coffee fruit from the middle branch sections of particularly well-performing trees each year.

Monmouth Coffee Company

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.
