Wee Cracker

£11.00Price
MANDARIN. TOFFEE. CANDYCANE. 
 
Wee Cracker. Would it really be Xmas without the Wee Cracker? This Colombian powerhouse is a real gem and is the festive superstar and benchmark of winter. That may be a warm crackling fire or all your loved ones around you! Super slow walks in the snow laden forests. Something that makes you feel warm inside. Warming; soothing. Together.
 
Chris, our head roaster, has pulled out the super sweetness in this coffee to maximise the supreme terroir of the beauty that is the Huila. Rich toffee sweetness pervades the cup with stunning overtones of tangy mandarin. The texture is almost like toasting marshmallows gently over the fire. The texture is reminiscent of thick, chewy Dundee marmalade and bursting with sweet candy cane and Seville oranges. A cracker. A Wee Cracker. Made for Crimbo.

  • The Full Story

    Colombia is one of the world’s top producers of Arabica coffee,
    and over the years the country has become synonymous with
    quality coffee. The country has nurtured its coffee industry over
    the years and the spirit of innovation is strong; new coffee varieties
    and processing innovations have come from Colombia as well
    as classic, balanced lots beloved by coffee drinkers. Most of the
    country’s coffee is grown by small producers scattered in its many
    coffee growing regions. 


    The 60-70 producers that have contributed to this lot of coffee live
    in the charming towns of Tesalia and Teruel.

     

    The department of Huila borders Tolima, and it’s the highest-
    producing region in the country. Huila boasts a chain of volcanoes, the Nevado de Huila, which historically has enriched the soils of
    the region, creating ideal growing conditions for coffee. Huila has
    its own designation of origin, and it produces coffees renowned for
    their bright acidity, balanced body, and rich sweetness.
