Beeches Blend | Colombia & Brazil

Having Burnham Beeches on our doorstep has brought our family much joy over the years. It's a special place for us and dear to our hearts. 

Colombia | El Tambo | 50%

Sandra Vallejo is part of an association made up of small coffee producers in Santuario, Risaralda. It only has 40 active members and are very strict with the coffees they receive from their members (only 84+ coffees). This has helped their community push coffee quality up and that is how we found Sandra, a women that had to take over the farm when her husband died 6 years ago. Mother of 2 children, she had to learn fast about coffee and found a strong support in the association. With their help and the natural benefits of her land, a beautiful 5 hectares farm producing coffee and plantain, that is surrounded by the Tatama National Park, she has been able to offer her first 85+ coffee.

Brazil | Fazenda Inhame | 50%

Brazil Inhame is a small family farm with 28 hectares of coffee trees located near to the town of Campos Altos. The farm is owned by Marco Aurelio and is managed in partnership with his son Bruno (an agronomist). They have a strong environmental focus concentrating on preservation of local water sources and indigenous fauna and floral. Harvesting is done using a combination of mechanical and manual picking. They use a selective mechanical approach that does a great job of picking cherry that is ripe and leaving unripe cherry on the trees. After harvesting the coffee is dried on concrete patios until reaching 30% moisture content. The coffee is then moved to mechanical driers that gently reduce the moisture content down to 12%. This method helps to free up drying space on the concrete patios as it can be challenging to find enough drying room during the peak harvest time. We love the traditional flavour profile of this Brazil. It is clean with hazelnut, milk chocolate and some gentle dried fruit notes.
