This washed Kenya coffee is grown in the highlands of Nyeri County, Kenya, at high altitude with cool temperatures and rich red volcanic soil. The Gura Wet Mill processes cherries from over 500 smallholder farmers who are members of the Othaya Farmers' Cooperative. The coffee exhibits zesty grapefruit acidity with a juicy medley of raspberry and mango, finishing with lingering warm brown-sugar frangipane notes.
Hard Lines started as a small Aeropress pop up bar serving filter coffee in Cardiff and grew over several years into one of Wales's best known specialty roasters. The roastery operates out of Gwaelod y Garth, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, using two Loring eco friendly roasters: an S35 Kestrel and an S15 Falcon. They run three locations in the Cardiff area, including a café in Penylan inspired by Italian neighbourhood coffee bars. The offering rotates with seasonal fresh crop arrivals, and the brand's distinctive smiley face identity was developed with designer Cadilane.
