Winning the Single Origin category for the second time in three years (silver in between) reinforces to us the importance of our motto: “We take coffee seriously not ourselves”; learn it, know it, live it.

We love poking fun at ourselves and the industry in our advertising, but being able to find an origin and roast it to a specific requirement for a desired brew method is the core of what we do.

We entered the Ethiopian Harrar this year, as it is a big favourite in the hoppers with our dc customers – so much so, that it is part of our dc premium line. It always has an amazing spicy, mango aroma, jammy and fruited flavours with chocolate and hints of cinnamon.

After our initial success in this category in 2010, we have since introduced a single origin program to our dc customers. Every month they are introduced to micro lots, CoEs, limited releases and anything we can get our hands on. This is supported by tasting notes and extraction parameters, so they can get the best out of the coffee for their customers.
