Flor de Selva is a distinctive communal producer blend from Peru, grown by smallholder farmers in the Rumpite village of La Coipa. This organic coffee features Caturra, Pache, and Bourbon varieties, processed using washed method. The coffee is bright and elegant with a complex profile showcasing typical floral notes, berries, and stone fruit, complemented by plum and dark chocolate tasting notes.
Exe Coffee Roasters was started in 2012 by Kim and Steve Pearson on Exeter's high street. Steve built the original roaster from scrap pieces; today they roast on a Probat 12kg, producing close to 300 kilos a week from a basement roastery beneath their café on Heavitree Road. The operation is deliberately compact and independent, focused on seasonal espresso blends and a rotating selection of two or three single origins. Steve previously owned Devon Coffee in central Exeter, which he sold to concentrate fully on roasting. The café doubles as a gathering spot, complete with a brick fired pizza oven in the back yard.
