This coffee is a single origin from Myanmar, specifically from the Ywangan region and Nwar Ban Gyi village. It is produced by The Lady speciality coffee facility, founded by ThiHa Gyawalie and Su Nandar Linn, with cherries collected from 51 women farmers. The coffee is made from Red Catuai variety grown at 1350 meters altitude and processed using Natural Anaerobic methods, combining both dry and wet fermentation techniques. The cherries are dried on raised beds for approximately 20-24 days. Tasting notes include Strawberries, Lemonade, and Honey.
Juan and Jayne, a husband and wife team, founded Carnival Coffee Roasters in 2019 in Penge, south east London, after a conversation in a local pub. The connection to coffee is deeply personal: Juan's grandfather won a mountain in Medellin, Colombia, in a card game, and the family has grown coffee on it ever since. The roasting runs on a Loring air roaster visible to customers on roasting days, and the sourcing emphasizes relationship coffee from Colombia, Ethiopia, and Nicaragua. All packaging is designed by Penge based artist Rosie Lovelock, with unique mask illustrations inspired by the carnival theme. The operation extends into collaborations with local breweries on specialty coffee beers and cycle deliveries across south east London.
