Beautiful, Fresh Coffee

We supply coffee to people who have a real interest in delicious freshly roasted coffee. By fresh we mean fresh, within 5-10 days of roasting. We guarantee that our coffee is fresh upon delivery, never more than 2 weeks since roasting. Coffee needs to rest ideally a week after roasting before it's ready to brew and ultimately drink, we always endeavour to deliver our coffee when it's just reaching it's peak.

We source the finest green coffees from all corners of the world; we have worked tirelessly in our testing department and feel that we have developed 2 really beautiful blends. We hand roast all of our coffee in small batches to a precise profile, this is carried out by our fantastic, experienced roaster, who we are very proud to have as part of our team. The result of this process is our alluring Caffé La Vela range.

Our Blends

We currently have 2 different blends of our Caffé La Vela brand. These are:

Cup profile and tasting notes:

Taste is a very personal experience and the cupping notes for this coffee interpret what we feel best describe its flavour profile: a description to communicate the essential nature of the coffee using a style of language that people can relate to.

When we cup as a group we do not confer with each other during the cupping session. Our cupping notes are kept personal until the cupping is over. This way everyone’s cupping notes stay devoid of any thought contamination from the rest of the group. Once each person’s notes are established and then discussed in the group we are able to form a profile from consensus and moreover denounce any rogue taste that does not concur with general opinion.

To fully understand a coffee there is a need for it to be compared with another – as each geographical region can be said to have its own particular base flavour or expected profile. What tastes (in general) set a Guatemalan coffee apart from a Nicaraguan or a coffee from El Salvador.

If a cupper knows he/she is cupping a coffee from Kenya there is an expectation of a base profile before tasting the coffee. You know in the majority of cases it’s going to be bright and full of fruit. However, just when you think you have a region sussed, a coffee pops up that throws any preconceived expectations out of the window.

The best thing to have when cupping coffee is an open mind.
