Two lines · one philosophy

Everyday, and everything else.

The regular line is the coffee we drink every morning — beautifully packaged, ziplock-sealed, ready for the week. The reserve is hand-tied in jute with a wax seal, made in batches small enough that we number each one.

The Regular Line

Ziplock bags. Every morning.

  • Matte foil-lined pouch
  • Resealable ziplock
  • Roasted weekly
  • 250g standard

The Reserve Line

Jute pouches. Numbered by hand.

  • Woven natural jute
  • Wax-sealed paper label
  • Hand-tied twine
  • Numbered batches
Freshly roasted Ethiopian beans
