A Colombian coffee from Suaza, Huila region. Produced by the Divino Niño group of over 50 smallholder farmers in partnership with Osito Coffee. This washed coffee uses Castillo, Caturra, and Colombia varieties. The cup delivers a juicy, balanced profile with sweet blackcurrant and caramel notes. Osito Coffee founded the annual Copa Suaceña cup competition to identify high-potential producers and exceptional single farm micro-lots.
NewGround Coffee was founded in 2018 in Oxford by Joel Grates and Dickon Morris with a social mission at its core: providing work and training opportunities for ex offenders. The roastery is B Corp certified and pays growers four times the Fairtrade standard. Head roaster James learned his craft at Redemption Roasters while in prison and now runs the Loring S15 Falcon day to day. The original café opened in 2019 in the same Headington building as the roastery, and a second location, a café and wine bar on Ship Street in central Oxford, followed in 2023. The inspiration for the business traces back to the Zukuka Bora project in Uganda, where coffee farming transformed lives in communities affected by civil war.
