South Africa

A very exciting addition to the Sea Island catalogue and an entirely new species of coffee: Racemosa. Until now, every coffee we’ve sourced has been part of the Arabica family, and 99% of coffee comes from either the Robusta, or Arabica species, but these tiny and unusual Racemosa beans are a completely different species of their own.

This Racemosa coffee is grown on the Elephant Coast estate in South Africa, an unusual location for quality coffee cultivation as it is typically considered too low altitude, too hot, and too dry for Arabica coffee. But these resilient Racemosa beans thrive in hot, dry conditions and offer a promising alternative as climate change threatens the cultivation of traditional Arabica coffee, which requires cool, humid temperatures to survive.

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.

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.
