This naturally processed coffee is from Banka Farm and the Banka Washing Station, named after two neighbouring villages, Banka Yi and Banka Er, located in southwest Yunnan, China. Yunnan Coffee Traders oversee the operation of the wet mill and part of the farm, and are pioneers of China's specialty coffee sector. The coffee delivers a layered and expressive cup with cherry-like sweetness, gentle tartness, soft nutty notes, and a smooth caramel finish.
Rounton Coffee Roasters operates from a converted granary in East Rounton, North Yorkshire, roasting Monday through Friday on a Loring S35 Kestrel and S15 Falcon. The team started out at farmers' markets with hand scribbled roast profiles and built into a multi award winning roastery. Their approach is characteristically Yorkshire: straightforward and focused on making "dead good coffee." They recommend brewing at least ten days after roast to let the flavours open up, a benefit of the convection roasting process which helps coffee stay fresh longer. Packaging is carbon neutral and home recyclable. Their Sparkling Water Decaf uses a process that preserves more natural taste than conventional decaffeination.
