From his first day as an intern in southern Tanzania to leading our China operations (and being all chum chum with the team ๐Ÿ˜‰)... Harry Bindloss has seen coffee from pretty much every angle of the globe๐ŸŒ

Meet our Managing Director for China! We caught up with Harry to talk about what makes China such an exciting market right now, why you should never try to be an expert in everything and what he's learned about leadership along the way.

He's also learned that not checking if the cat you're adopting is pregnant is the quickest way to go from 0 to 5 cats ๐Ÿฑ but that's another story...

October is the perfect month for a little magic ๐Ÿ”ฎ and Embrujo's Witch ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ and Wizard ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ lots are arriving in New York and Oakland right on cue.

In July we visited our friend and partner Ignacio at Finca La Palmera in Caldas ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด We walked the creek, saw the full operation firsthand and left wondering what's going to top a meal like that (swipe for proof!)

But enough about the food... at , Ignacio and his team run a microbiology lab, power processing entirely on solar, trial four different Geisha varieties side by side and employ many single mothers to hand-sort every cherry.

2026 is the International Year of the Female Farmer, so weโ€™re back on our little world tour to catch up with some incredible women in coffee ๐ŸŒŽ

This time, weโ€™re heading to Colombia to meet producers Magola and Marta, alongside Sara and Laura from Sucafina Colombia ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด

Four women with four different stories, but proving that thereโ€™s always a lot more behind every cup.

Sangalai is the Kenya you put on repeat, priced to make your wallet happy ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช

Owing its name to the bull elephant in Samburu ๐Ÿ˜, a language indigenous to Northern Kenya, the Sangalai AA is forceful, consistent and impossible to ignore. It has some juicy berry notes, a great body and complex acidity, carefully selected by our own QC team at Sucafina Kenya.

Oakland, it's coming your way! Talk to your trader ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Three Grade 1 Ethiopias. Three completely different cups. All top lots, all on the East Coast right now ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น

Ethiopia's diversity in growing regions and varieties means you could pick one standout lot for your roastery or build an entire Ethiopia lineup without repeating yourself. Right now we have three Grade 1s that just arrived to prove it: a Guji Organic Washed, a Sidamo Ayla Bombe and a Yirgacheffe Aricha Adorsi.

But if you fancy more, there are plenty of Ethiopia lots on the offer list. Jump online or reach out to your trader ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿ”ฅFor a long time the narrative about Robusta has been pretty limited. You know the drill: bitter, functional, not particularly inspiring. Still, that's changing and it's changing fast so we wanted to talk about it...

We sat down with the experts, Kristine Breminer Isgren and Walter Rossi, two of our QC managers and Q Graders from the UK and Geneva offices, to dig into the emerging picture of fine (or 'premium') Robusta.

The big spoiler: when it's grown, harvested and processed with the same care as specialty Arabica, the results can be surprising and come with a bag of yummy fruit, honey, vanilla, and caramel notes. And with processing methods like anaerobic fermentation, honey and yeast inoculation now being applied to Robusta just as they are with Arabica, roasters have more options than ever to experiment with.

Kenya lots are about to arrive in New York and Oakland ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช

If there's one origin that roasters come back to for that punchy, fruit-forward brightness that steals hearts (and palates) left and right, it's Kenya. The brightness, the berry, the structure... Kenya doesn't disappoint and these four lots are no exception:

๐ŸŒธ Kabingara AA FW: berries, stone fruit and a sweet finish
๐ŸŒ„ Gathaithi AB FW: lively acidity and delicate sweetness
๐ŸŒ‹ Kaguyu AA FW: bright acidity and stone fruit sweetness
๐ŸŒฟ Kathakwa AA FW: bright and complex
