This decaffeinated coffee is sourced from Araponga in Minas Gerais, a state in southeastern Brazil. Araponga is part of the Matas de Minas region, known for exceptional coffee production. The region features a diverse ecosystem with steep mountains in the east and savannah-like grasslands in the west. Most of the coffee work is done manually by farmers who take great care with their coffees.
Round Hill Roastery has been roasting in Radstock, a few miles south of Bath in Somerset, since 2012, when third wave specialty coffee was still in its early days in the UK. The focus from the start has been single farm and single estate coffees, sourcing the best seasonal harvests from independent growers and cooperatives and paying a premium for distinctive character. Roast profiles are designed to highlight the dynamic flavours naturally present in each coffee. Packaging is colour coded: blue bags for filter, pink for espresso. The roastery is open for tours where visitors can watch the roasting, taste the house blend, and learn about sourcing.
