Finca Chelín Red Honey Gesha from Candelaria Loxicha, Sierra Sur, Oaxaca, Mexico, grown at 1600-1750 meters altitude by producer Enrique López. This Gesha variety is processed using the Red Honey method: ripe cherries are rested overnight in cherry, de-pulped the following morning, then dried for 2 days under direct sun before finishing under shade. The coffee features a silky body with tasting notes of jasmine, vanilla, and peach ice tea.
Tereza and Jon founded Curve Coffee Roasters in early 2016 in Margate, Kent, after meeting while working at a small London roastery. Jon first encountered specialty coffee while working at a high end equipment store in Sweden and went on to become a head roaster. Tereza's focus lies in responsible sourcing, ethical marketing, and sustainability across the supply chain. The roastery started at the back of a Margate cafe and has grown to a team of 15 with a customer base extending across Kent, London, and beyond. Sourcing runs on direct partnerships, including with El Zapoteco Cafe in the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca, Mexico, and the Colombian exporter Siruma. The preference is for showcasing individual coffee profiles rather than blending.
