This house espresso blend from London micro-roastery Coborn was formulated specially for London Coffee Festival 2024. It combines coffee beans from Peru and Rwanda, with both lots produced by female growers.

The fully washed Peruvian comes from around 30 women producers in the JUMARP co-operative’s Mujeres (women) programme. JUMARP, who represent farmers in El Palto in Peru’s Amazonas region, identified barriers to women’s participation in the coffee industry and founded Mujeres as a way to bolster self esteem and encourage business skills while also making improvements to coffee quality.

This Peruvian coffee brings the sweetness and chocolate body to the blend, while the Rwandan brings fruit to the forefront. The anaerobic natural lot is sourced from Baho Coffee Company's Ikizere group which is focused on solidarity, friendship and hope for stigmatised single mothers in Nyaruguru. The juicy berry notes of this coffee shine through in Coborn's final cup, which is sweetly balanced for a deliciously different espresso and a real tribute to the great causes that have made it.
