About This Coffee

This coffee is an experimental black honey processed Arara lot from Fazenda Pinhal, produced by Pedro Gabarra in Brazil. The coffee is pulped with 100% of the mucilage retained, then spread in a thin layer on clay patios for two days to encourage fermentation and impart natural-like flavor notes. It is then transferred to Guardiola mechanical dryers for an additional 3–4 days for precise temperature, humidity, and moisture management. This microlot earned 11th place in Brazil Cup of Excellence and 1st place in the Minasul Coffee Competition.

Clifton Coffee

James Fisher founded Clifton Coffee in Bristol in 2001, initially servicing espresso machines before Ed Buston joined and expanded the business into wholesale. Several of their earliest multi site customers in Bristol remain clients over two decades later. In 2013, Clifton invested in an in house production roastery and a training facility that was among the first of its kind in the UK. By 2022, it had become Bristol's largest roasted coffee wholesaler, supplying around 850 customers including specialty shops, Michelin starred restaurants, and five star hotels across the UK, EU, and Middle East. Ninety percent of the coffee is bought directly from origin through the company's own sourcing relationships. Clifton achieved B Corporation certification in 2023 and holds SCA Premier Campus status.
