Hello you lovely people, Steve here with an update on a few new coffees that have gone onto the website over the last 2 weeks but unfortunately I haven’t found time to shout about.
It’s been a bit of a funny couple of weeks, lots of travelling for me mixed with super naff weather in the UK and then our water + electricity supplies trying to make friends : ( we’ve been doing our very best at Hasbean Towers to carry on as normal despite the challenges that have been thrown at us, but unfortunately I did slip a little letting you know about the most delicious new things to hit the website : ( BUT here we are! So let’s get on with the tasty…
Hilda Pacha Washed Caturra
Zamora – Chinchipe, Ecuador
Brown sugar, toffee, watermelon
In the cup this super sweet coffee reminds me of brown sugar and toffee, with a green apple and watermelon aftertaste.

Fazenda Inglaterra Pulped Natural Bourbon
Minas Gerais, Brazil

Finca Alaska Natural Bourbon
Apaneca-Ilamatepec, El Salvador

Don Carlos Washed Caturra

Tana Toraja Kalosi Washed Peaberry
Pango Pango-Perindingan, Indonesia
