Finca El Jardin is a fruit-forward washed coffee from the Montecillos region of La Paz, Honduras. Produced by Mario Samuel Mejia at 1,600 meters altitude, this coffee features Red and Yellow Catuai and Pacas varieties. The beans are mechanically demucilaged, fermented for 30 hours, and sun-dried on raised nylon mesh for 12–15 days. The resulting cup offers a bright, juicy profile with tasting notes of tart pink grapefruit, crisp Pink Lady apple, and sweet pomegranate, finishing with a clean, refreshing sweetness.
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.
