A balanced, chocolatey cup with a delightful hint of citrus.

The San Ignacio province, from where this coffee hails, sits at the very top of the Cajamarca region of Northern Peru, with the land boasting an impressively diverse range of flora and fauna. As a protected natural area a methodology of conservation across the smallholdings of the region has become paramount.

This mixed-variety lot from the Agraria Frontera Cooperative has been Red Honey processed using wood-tank fermentation. Created from fallen Romerillo trees (regulations prohibit felling), the wooden tanks disperse the heat created in the process, allowing a more even temperature across the crop.

Bath

In Melbourne, they discovered an underground movement called Third Wave coffee. Captivated by the flavour and provenance-driven approach to coffee, they dove in head-first and learned everything possible about this enigmatic drink. Maxwell and Lesley were driven by the opportunity to learn and innovate at a time when people were beginning to think differently about what coffee could be.

In 2009, they opened the destination coffee shop Colonna & Small’s in Bath, UK. The shop was dedicated to showcasing the most exceptional coffees in a space built to engage a conversation around coffee. Colonna & Small’s soon became internationally recognised and was awarded the ‘Best Coffee Shop in Europe’ title in 2016.

Colonna & Small's quickly became a hub for innovation. Maxwell and Lesley built a team and grew a customer base, who all shared their passion for great coffee. The company became part of the international coffee circuit, seeing Maxwell taking part in coffee competitions, collaborating with industry experts, scientists and inventors from many different fields.

Our founder Maxwell won the UK barista championship in 2012, 2014 & 2015. This connected us with a global network of fellow coffee enthusiasts and allowed us to collaborate further and wider in the pursuit of exceptional coffee.
