A Valentine's Day 2026 special release featuring a blend of two exceptional Geisha lots from the Janson Family in Panama. Lot 883 is a Washed Geisha offering classic floral notes with a clean, elegant, and refined profile. Lot 838 is a Natural Geisha adding fruit-forward depth and richer, more intense sweetness. Grown at 1700m altitude, this coffee presents apricot jam, heather honey, and guava flavors in the cup. Made to be together - a unique and expressive blend celebrating connection.
Special Guests Coffee was founded in 2022 by Paul Ross, a two time UK Barista Champion who took the title in 2019. After stints at Origin Coffee, Kiss the Hippo, and Watch House, Paul launched a boutique roastery focused on rare micro lots, competition level beans, and exclusive varietals in extremely limited supply. The flagship café on Aybrook Street in Marylebone opened in late 2023, featuring two long silver counters: one dedicated to espresso, the other to a pourover brew bar offering 12 single origin coffees as hand brewed filter. The roastery also maintains an archive of carefully frozen coffees, giving standout lots a second chance to shine. A monthly subscription delivers 100g of rare, world class coffee to members.
