Hasbean coffee
A Roaster We Trust
Every specialty coffee subscription is only as good as the roasters behind it, and this month RISE Coffee Box is proud to feature Hasbean, one of the UK's most respected independent specialty coffee roasters. Hasbean puts long-term, sustainable relationships at the heart of everything they do. Whilst many brands say this, these guys really mean it. We recently read their yearly Sourcing Report, which details exactly how their partnerships are built to be sustainable across three key practices – Environmental, Economic and Social – giving full transparency on how their specialty coffee actually gets from farm to bag.
It's this level of rigour and honesty that makes Hasbean exactly the kind of independent UK roaster we love to showcase in our coffee subscription boxes – alongside other standout partners like Ozone Coffee Roasters, another Hasbean-calibre roaster in the RISE lineup known for their own meticulous approach to sourcing and roasting specialty coffee. Together, roasters like these are what make discovering new specialty coffee through a subscription so exciting: every box is a chance to try something genuinely different, backed by a real story.
Costa Rica:
This coffee has been roasted medium-dark and makes a great espresso. Hasbean first bought from Finca Licho in 2007, when it was awarded fourth place in the Cup of Excellence. Situated 1,500 metres above sea level in the region of Naranjo, the farm sits within the volcanic Northern Cordiles corridor of the Western Valley – an area famous the world over for producing exceptional specialty coffee. Every step of this coffee's journey, from a single farm in Costa Rica to your RISE subscription box, reflects the same sustainable sourcing standards Hasbean applies across their entire range.
Hasbean say this tastes like Black Forest Gateau in a cup, and honestly, we couldn't agree more. It's rich, fruity and indulgent – proof that a genuinely great specialty coffee subscription box should feel like a small treat every single month.
Coffees like this are exactly why RISE Coffee Box exists. Every month, we blind taste 25-30 coffees from independent specialty coffee roasters across the UK – from small-batch operations like Hasbean to standout names such as Ozone Coffee Roasters – and choose only the very best to feature in our coffee subscription boxes. If you love discovering new specialty coffee, sustainably sourced and roasted by people who genuinely care about where it comes from, a RISE coffee subscription is the easiest way to explore it all from home.
