About This Coffee

Based on the island of Tenerife, the Finca Sanssouci farm was founded in 2002 and is owned and managed by husband and wife Alexandra and Peter – the former a retired professor of Botany (plant physiology and ecology) from the University of Munich, who’s able to utilise his theoretical knowledge with practical agriculture to produce coffees of outstanding quality. Because of the lack of pests on the island, this coffee is naturally organic – the management of the plants is restricted to irrigation, organic fertilisation, and pruning.

Roasting

We roast all our coffee beans in small artisanal batches each day to preserve freshness and consistency. All ground coffee is ground to order just before shipping, so you can be assured your coffee has arrived as fresh as possible.

The majority of our coffees are medium roasted as a standard, unless otherwise stated on the product page.

Please contact us if you have any questions about our coffees or the way we roast.

Shipping

All orders are packed and shipped from our roastery in the UK.

We aim to process and ship orders within 1-2 working days, although large orders containing multiple varieties of roasted coffee may take slightly longer.

UK shipping is free on orders over £100.

For international orders, shipping costs and any duties & taxes are calculated and prepaid for at checkout - Any charges at customs are then dealt with in advance by us to ensure your coffee arrives as quickly as possible.

US shipping is free on orders over $250.

A delightful cup full of rich dark chocolate and sweet fruit, with hints of mandarin and a slightly smoky, delicate finish.

Coffee in the

Canary Islands

Coffee was first introduced to the Canary Islands back in 1788 when the first coffee trees arrived in the ‘La Orotava Acclimatization Garden’ in Tenerife. The garden was built by King Carlos III of Spain to take advantage of the Canary Islands’ warm climate to grow exotic plants and seeds from America and Asia.

Today, coffee is still produced in extremely small amounts on the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro, and Gran Canaria by family run estates. Very little coffee leaves the islands, with most of it consumed by the producing families or sold to local roasters and coffee shops.
