The Roasters
We met Hundred House coffee at Nottingham coffee festival last year - we had a Rise stand next to them and their coffee was flying off the shelf! Owner and Co-founder Matthew has been roasting coffee for over 20 years, and the business prides themself on buying small lots of coffee and bringing out the best flavours they possibly can. When you buy a coffee from Hundred House you have the option to buy a piece of artwork, which funds art in schools locally.
Coffee Name
Old Spike x Rise Blend, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua
The Coffee
We really enjoy this naturally fermented Brazilian coffee - offering sweetness but with the boozy flavours you expect from a natural coffee. The farmers who picked it are the 5th generation of farmers working in coffee; the Barbosa family has been cultivating coffee since the 1900s, when current owner, Danilo Barbosa’s, great-grandfather, Elias Barbosa purchased the farm. This coffee is "omni-roast" as are all of Hundred House Coffees, which means its high enough quality to be enjoyed with any brew method!
