Rigo Cuellar

About This Coffee

This Pacamara variety coffee is grown in the high-altitude region of Saladoblanco, Colombia by producer Rigo Cuellar. The coffee is cultivated with native shade cover and selective picking methods. After harvest, cherries undergo controlled oxidation before pulping, then fermented anaerobically in sealed tanks with partial mucilage intact. The coffee is lightly washed and dried on raised beds for up to 20 days, resulting in a structured honey process with clarity and sweetness. The production reflects family-led traditional methods with a focus on cup quality.

Watchhouse

Watchhouse was founded in 2014 by Roland Horne in a 19th century former watch house on Bermondsey Street, London. The roastery sits beneath a repurposed railway arch on Maltby Street, where the team roasts on a refurbished 1959 Probat UG22 under the direction of Head Roaster Nikol Novotná. Rather than selling wholesale, the company made a deliberate decision to channel all its energy into sourcing and roasting for its own outlets and online shop. That focus now spans 17 locations across London, with an expansion into New York in 2024. Coffees are sourced seasonally from producers worldwide and organised into three ranges: the 1829 Espresso blend designed for milk drinks, the Rituals range for comfort, and the Horizons range for more experimental offerings. All packaging uses compostable plant based materials, and their decaf is processed using ethyl acetate in Nariño, Colombia.
