This espresso blend combines three natural processed coffees: Ethiopian Abakeno (35%), Indonesian Team Pegasing (25%), and Brazilian Caixa da Fruita (40%). The all-natural blend offers fruit and nut forward flavors with tasting notes of cherry, hazelnut, and apricot jam. It features a jammy body that cuts through milk and is also suitable for filter brewing.
Jolly Bean Roastery operates from an old mill in Sowerby Bridge, in West Yorkshire's Calder Valley. It started on a 1kg roaster, graduated to a 2.5kg machine nicknamed Tony that the team drove from Portsmouth wedged into a hatchback, and now runs a 10kg Besca. They source ethically and work to keep overheads low enough to make rare and experimental coffees accessible, including lots processed with anaerobic and maceration techniques from Colombian producers. The roastery also runs Giddy Arts, a sister café in Saltaire opposite Salts Mill, which doubles as a general store with a plastic free refill section where customers can bring old coffee bags for freshly roasted beans.
