About This Coffee

This espresso blend combines 50% Ethiopia Guji UCR Lot 25/01 Natural and 50% Colombia Caldas Supremo Washed. The Ethiopian component features Heirloom varieties grown at 1450-2300m and processed naturally, while the Colombian portion consists of Caturra and Yellow Bourbon varieties, also grown at 1450-2300m and washed processed. The 2025 crop year coffee is roasted to a light-medium level (Agtron #65/#85) and offers flavor notes of grapefruit, sugarcane, and tropical characteristics. The blend is designed for balance, performing well both as espresso solo and with milk, with body, complexity, and clarity.

Urban Coffee

Gary Au and his co founder Horry launched Urban Coffee Roaster in 2014 after bonding over coffee as dorm mates at Hong Kong University, with Gary leaving his career as a proprietary trader to become a freelance roaster before opening their first location at Wontonmeen Hostel in Sham Shui Po. The operation has since grown into a multi location roastery with a modern plant featuring dedicated sourcing, roasting, quality control, sensory, and brewing teams across several Hong Kong neighborhoods and the international airport. Gary's competitive achievements underscore the roastery's technical depth: he won both the Hong Kong Barista Championship and Coffee in Good Spirits Championship in 2024, going on to place sixth at the 2025 World Coffee in Good Spirits Championship. The team's innovation extends to product design, with their 2 Way Cup winning the 2024 SCA Best New Product Award for offering dual tasting experiences in a single vessel. Urban Coffee Roaster has evolved from pop up markets to one of Hong Kong's most decorated and forward thinking specialty coffee operations.
