This is a peaberry coffee from Brazil. Peaberry beans occur when the coffee fruit produces only a single, pea-shaped bean rather than the typical two flattened beans, accounting for only 5% of harvested beans. Carefully separated from the main crop, these beans are produced in some of Brazil's highest coffee plantations. The coffee is smooth and nutty with a subtle acidity and flavors of cocoa and cream.
Lost Barn Coffee Roasters sits on a family dairy farm in Tilston, Cheshire. Co founders Blair, a New Zealand born chef who had previously opened three cafés in Melbourne, Jo, whose background is in sustainable design, and Faye, whose travels through New Zealand and Australia shaped the creative vision, started the roastery in a converted shipping container before moving into a purpose built facility. They hand roast on a copper roaster in small batches. Their Bloomsbury Espresso Blend won a three star Great Taste Award in 2020 and a Golden Fork from delicious. magazine. Wholesale deliveries go out in refillable, zero waste tubs via a fully electric van.
