Bailies Umbra Coffee

£5.50

Here’s one for the traditional espresso fans looking for that classic caffeine kick in their cup. Umbra is our darkest roast, a big-bodied aromatic blend with medium bitterness but, importantly, perfectly smooth. You’ll taste elements of dark chocolate as well as roasted almond rounded with a hint of soft caramel sweetness.

This is really intense as a straight shot – rich, full and dark – but with plenty of punch, even through a large latte.

Roasted in Northern Ireland.

ROOT AND BRANCH

Root & Branch Uraga, Ethiopia Coffee

£10.00

Uraga is both the name of the washing station and the wider area in Guji that this coffee is from. It’s Root and Branch's second year in a row of this coffee and it’s just as fruit-driven and clean this year as it was last year. Their friend and coffee producer Israel Degfa, has the knack of coffee processing down to a fine art across all 34 of his washing stations.

Process: Washed
Whole Bean
Notes: Papaya, Passionfruit, Raspberries

Getting coffees down from some of the smallholders farmers that supply Uraga is a significant challenge. They supply improved varietals such as Certo and Wolisho as well as older native forest varieties transferred to family smallholder plots. After meticulous processing, Israel’s team select and grade the cherries into categories 1 and 2 with Root and Branch only buying the high grade and high scoring 1’s.

In 2016 Root and Branch opened its doors on a humble Belfast back street to become Belfast’s first specialty micro-roastery. They only work with farmers and green coffee importers they believe in, bringing sustainable and delicious coffees that everyone loves.

ROOT AND BRANCH

Root & Branch Telma Machado, Brazil Coffee

£8.50

Telma’s coffee is a mixture of Mundo Novo and Caturra and grows at around 1000m.

When Root and Branch cupped it, they were immediately impressed with the creaminess which along with the defined milk chocolate notes, struck them as tasting just like chocolate profiteroles.

Process: Natural
Whole Bean
Notes: Chocolate Profiteroles, Toffee, Nuts

It goes without saying that you need a naturally processed Brazilian on your menu. Move over Eagle Mogiana and welcome Telma Machado. From the Cerrado region of Brazil, Telma was recently widowed and pressed on in managing their farm on her own. Her interest in agriculture came from the tradition of her husband’s family. Before coffee, they had a grain farm and decided to shift into coffee. They planted seedlings and their own nursery kicked into gear. Nurseries often turn into farms, and that’s exactly what happened with Telma’s 26 acres.

Root & Branch Nano Challa #1, Ethiopia Coffee

£10.00

Root and Branch have poured this across every brew method in their bars, fine tuning it for release, and it’s absolutely wonderful.

Process: Washed
Whole Bean
Notes: Lemon Starburst & Elderflower

Nano Challa is a cooperatively produced coffee from an area close to Jimma. It’s an area which whilst lesser known in coffee production compared to Guji or Yirgacheffe, is becoming more and more recognised for producing extremely high quality coffees, year in year out. This is no exception. Grown by a cooperative of some 100 smallholder farmers who are part of the Kata Muduga Union, the coffee is brought to the Nano Challa washing station where the farmers are paid first payment, the coffee is processed, and after milling, the farmers receive a second payment based on quality.

Bailies Honduras La Florencia Microlot Coffee

£7.25

La Florencia, sister farm of Santo Tomás and San Jacinto were founded by Antonio Martínez, an experienced farmer, who grew both Bourbon and Typica varieties. After he passed away there was no known process and his daughter, Isaura, with no prior experience in coffee farming had to find her feet and develop her own approach; her persistence in the craft has paid off significantly as she is now producing high-quality specialty coffee, with noticeable progression in quality year-on-year.

Here's to the women in coffee!

Process

This microlot comes from Inga forest at the top of La Florencia farm. After hand-picking the ripest cherries they’re brought to the on-farm washing station. Post-pulping they are fermented for 13 hours and washed in channels. The coffee beans are then separated by density and slowly dried on concrete patios over 8-12 days.

BAILIES

Bailies Ethiopia Hunkute Coffee

£7.00

Located in the Wonsho district with two separate wet mills that collect cherries from around 2000 smallholder farmers in the neighbouring villages. Fertile soil, a local mix of heirloom varieties and good altitude together with the use of organic fertilizer gives this coffee a beautiful sweetness and pronounced aroma.
Their coffee is grown organically.

Process

Cherries are collected in one of the 2 mills of Hunkute cooperative, washed and cleaned from all imperfections. The skin is then removed using disk pulper machines and the beans are then fermented for around 24 hours.
Afterwards, they are washed in washing channels and soaked in clean, running water for a few hours. The beans are then taken to raised beds where they are slowly dried until they reach 11.5% moisture (approx. 12-16 days).
After drying, the beans are left to rest for about a month before milling and transport to Djibouti takes place.
