About This Coffee

This coffee is a Gesha variety from Finca Chelín in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is processed using the black honey method, where cherries are rested in concrete tanks for 40 hours before being depulped and dried, first under direct sun and then under shade. This process results in a complex profile with tasting notes of orange zest, butterscotch, and honeysuckle, characterized by ripe fruit notes, figs, dark berries, and enhanced malic acidity.

Full Court Press

Full Court Press is a Bristol café and roastery that began by buying beans from specialty roasters around the world before launching its own roasting operation. Head roaster Fency, a qualified Q Grader with SCA Roasting and Green Coffee Professional credentials, roasts on a Stronghold S7 Pro, a fully electric machine paired with an afterburner and six stage filtration system. The roastery runs on renewable electricity. In their first year of roasting they worked through 69 different coffees across 18 origins. Transparency is built into the model: they publish purchase prices and producer payments where possible. Their subscription pairs a bag of their own roast with one from an international guest roaster, drawing from names like Tim Wendelboe, Gardelli, and Friedhats.
