Kaleidoscope - Subscription

For all subscription FAQ see here

Our house blend, Kaleidoscope, is the perfect balance of juicy berry fruit flavours with layers of rich chocolate and a tantalising orange acidity. 

In this blend, three coffees combine beautifully into a moreish espresso or long black but also gives no quarter when paired with milk to make a creamy, delicious milkshake of a latte or flat white. While we have labelled this as an espresso blend it will certainly not leave you wanting if brewed in a cafetiére or a filter.

Coffee is seasonal and we adjust the coffees in the blend throughout the year in line with harvests in different parts of the world. This is version 15 of Kaleidoscope.

Los Naranjos
Los Naranjos is is contributed to by coffee farmers in the municipality of San Agustin in the famous coffee department of Huila in Colombia. These small farms with an average size of only three hectares are selected for producing exceptional coffee. These coffees undergo a washed process whilst still at the farm they were picked at, before being transported to the central dry mill where they are combined to produce this exceptional coffee. In Kaleidoscope, this coffee brings the rich chocolate undertones, the juicy orange and provides plenty of the sweetness.

El Diablo
The Natural Reserve Cerro Datanli - El Diablo is a high massif located between the cities of Matagalpa and Jinotega. With coffee trees clinging to the steep sides of the mountainsides in the shade of the cloud forest this is an incredibly beautiful place.  Most of the coffee farmers here grow coffee on medium sized 20 hectare farms. This naturally processed Catuai lot was made up from 3 farmers from this area. This coffee brings a full rounded, red berry flavour with loads of chocolate notes. 

Don Zinger
This coffee from the farm of Duberney Cifuentes Fajardo hits the high notes of the blend, with its bold and lively flavour. Duberney and his wife Neyireth have lived on their farm for more than 13 years, growing coffee with dedication and pride. Family tradition and culture led Duberney into the world of coffee, and since then he has developed a deep passion for it. He produces specialty coffee not only for the additional income it provides, but also because of his genuine interest in exotic coffee varieties.
