This Geisha variety coffee is sourced from the Santamaria farm in Boquete, Panama, at an altitude of 1800 meters. It undergoes a controlled natural process at the Lost Origin lab, involving a 7-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks with specific cultures, followed by a 46.5-day drying period in regulated conditions. The flavor profile features notes of lime, mango, and strawberry. This coffee is provided in a 24g dose within a reusable Weber Workshops Bean Cellar tube.
Special Guests Coffee was founded in 2022 by Paul Ross, a two time UK Barista Champion who took the title in 2019. After stints at Origin Coffee, Kiss the Hippo, and Watch House, Paul launched a boutique roastery focused on rare micro lots, competition level beans, and exclusive varietals in extremely limited supply. The flagship café on Aybrook Street in Marylebone opened in late 2023, featuring two long silver counters: one dedicated to espresso, the other to a pourover brew bar offering 12 single origin coffees as hand brewed filter. The roastery also maintains an archive of carefully frozen coffees, giving standout lots a second chance to shine. A monthly subscription delivers 100g of rare, world class coffee to members.
