This coffee originates from two farms, Sítio Santa Barbara and Sítio Rocinha, in the Pedralva region of Mantiqueira de Minas, Brazil. Owned by brothers Marcilio and Marino Piazza Leite, the farms cultivate Yellow Bourbon, Red Catuaí, and Yellow Catuaí varieties. The coffee is processed using the pulped natural method at the Carmo Coffees mill. It is a versatile coffee suitable for a wide range of brewing methods, from filter and cafetière to espresso.
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.
