John Farrer & Co of Kendal, the UK’s oldest coffee roastery, has launched three new additions to its ‘Signature’ speciality coffee collection, especially for December 2024.
Farrer’s ‘Signature’ speciality coffee collection complements the company’s core range, adding carefully selected small-batch seasonal single-origin offerings from sustainable and responsible farms around the world.
The ‘ Signature’ collection celebrates the very best coffee grown by small-scale dedicated farmers who share Farrer’s passion for what they create.
Every coffee selected has been painstakingly handpicked and selected by Farrer’s roadsters to provide their customers with access to premium coffees from among the most sought-after coffee crops produced by small single-estate plantations.
The latest addition to the range is:
China Kaku is produced by Kaku Farm, which is located in Paliang, Southwest Yunnan Province, China. This family-run farm and washing station is run by Mr Li and his relatives who are committed to producing quality coffees.
The Kaku farm yields roughly 20 tons per harvest. The coffee is first pulped and then dry-fermented for 18 hours. Subsequently, the coffee passes through density channels to sort for defects. Finally, the coffee is spread on concrete patios to dry for approximately 10 days.
This particular coffee is a delicate washed process coffee, delivering flavours of crisp apples, lime, apricot and vanilla.
China Kaku is priced at £12.94 per 250g bag.
Each of Farrer’s Speciality coffees is available as a whole bean or pre-ground, packed in a resealable bag. These coffees will be available to purchase through Farrer’s website for a limited time only. To place an order visit: http://farrerscoffee.co.uk
Che Oxenham, Farrer’s Head Roaster said: ‘‘I’ve selected China Kaku because of its distinctive and unique flavour profiles. China is a relative newcomer to the Specialty Coffee scene, but this particular coffee has been produced by a small-scale producer, who like us, are very proud of what they’ve produced. Mr Li and his relatives are committed to producing quality coffee and in doing so support their local community by providing education and healthcare and producing their coffee sustainability and responsibly, all of which play a big part in us deciding who to work with. I hope you enjoy them and look forward to selecting our next batch of single-origin coffee for you to try in the coming month.’’
