Olfactory Coffee
A Roaster We Trust
Based in Penryn, Cornwall, Olfactory Coffee Roasters first started back in 2010, founded by a couple who became obsessed with coffee while studying at university. They set out to run a coffee business with the values of quality, transparency and ethical trading, and to this day these values are firmly in place. Working with long-standing partner farmers all over the world, founder Mariya extensively experiments, profiles and roasts coffees to bring out the most exciting flavours and characteristics.
That same obsessive, experimental approach to sourcing and roasting is exactly what we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes. Olfactory joins a growing list of roasters we're proud to champion through RISE.
Uganda & Honduras Blend
In celebration of Ben & Alice's Uganda trip in March 2023, we wanted to nod to Uganda with this coffee. The White Nile region in Uganda, in the northwest part of the country, provides the chocolatey notes. These are perfectly complemented by the creamy hazelnut and sweet fig flavours from Ana Cecilia Esteves's farm in Honduras. This signature filter blend is the perfect brew for all filter methods, from Aeropress to cafetiere. This coffee featured in our April 2023 box.
From our two favourite coffee growing regions, this mixed process coffee is a versatile staple that can be drunk however you like to brew. We're also big fans of Cornwall and love the heritage behind this Cornish brand.
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 Cornish favourites like Olfactory Coffee Roasters to standout names we've discovered along the way – 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.
