The technology behind

Steeped

Just add filtered water to enjoy one of our picks of the season.

These Steeped bags are a simple and elegant way to present a selection of the coffees we find most exciting, removing many brewing variables, and allowing quality and character to shine.

Individual doses are ground and sealed in nitrogen-flushed packages, maintaining the clear aromatic character of freshly ground coffee, for over a year after roasting.

Simple brewing

Steeped

The brewing process is incredibly straightforward, simply pour 220 ml of filtered water over one Steeped bag, dunk, wait and enjoy. This makes the bags ideal on the go, while travelling or outdoors, anywhere you don’t have access to your normal coffee set up.

Each Steeped bag corresponds to one cup of coffee, use several to brew a larger batch.

Using filtered water with a low mineral content is still essential for the best experience. Read more about water for coffee brewing here.

Ethiopia

Bensa Logita

Now for the fourth year, we are excited to share this progressive release from our partners at Moplaco in Ethiopia. Led by Heleanna Georgalis, they have been taking advantage of changes to the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange regulations to export both delicious traditional Ethiopian lots, and small experiments such as this one. The quality of raw material in Ethiopia is unlike most other producing countries; the biodiversity of both the coffee trees themselves and the environment in which they are grown leads to well nourished and hardy trees, without the need for external inputs such as pesticides and fertilisers. This leads to incredibly high potential for cup quality, but until recently some interesting work by producers has been masked by a lack of traceability and experimentation.

In order to create this lot, the very ripest cherries, on the edge of overripe, are selected before being sealed in stainless steel tanks and fermented in an anaerobic environment for 60 hours. This long fermentation causes the cherries to turn a dark purple colour, before they are dried with the cherry still attached for around 12 days. This has allowed a wild and juicy interpretation of Ethiopian terroir to develop. The fact that this terroir driven character is still able to be appreciated is testament to the expert processing carried out by Moplaco. Logita carries a wild take on the heavy Sidamo profile, driven by rich and ripe tropical fruit, while holding on to a crisp and fresh acidity.
