This Seasonal Blend is made up of two fresh crop coffees that were carefully selected by our roasting team and combined in a recipe designed to deliver a delicious and balanced espresso.
The primary component comes from Santa Clara Estate in Antigua, Guatemala. This estate is owned by Ricardo Zelaya, who is one of Market Lane’s longest standing coffee-producing partners. The secondary component comes from a number of small-scale farmers in Bensa, Ethiopia. These farmers supply coffee to the Ayla washing station, which is owned and run by our long-time partners at Testi Coffee.
A new Seasonal Blend is always a cause for celebration at Market Lane. We serve this blend as the ‘house espresso’ in all our shops, and we offer it as whole beans for home baristas to brew and enjoy, on its own or paired with milk – it tastes fantastic either way!
