Red Bank Coffee
A Roaster We Trust
Based in the beautiful Lake District, Red Bank Coffee Roasters was founded by ex-lawyer and Londoner Tom, who first realised how amazing coffee could be after visiting Monmouth in London. This rare Mexican coffee is incredibly clean, sweet and complex, with notes of clementine, honeycomb and pannacotta.
Tom has long had an obsession with Oaxaca as one of the world's centres of food biodiversity. That kind of deep, personal passion for a specific origin is exactly what we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes.
Yoloxochitlán
The Sierra Mazateca is a mountain range located to the north of Oaxaca City. The region is very remote, hard to access, and marked by its steep and dramatic topography. It takes its name from the indigenous Mazatec, a Nahuatl name that translates as "the deer people." In their own language, however, the Mazatec refer to themselves as Ha shuta Enima, meaning "those who work the hills." The Mazateca is also known for its more mystic elements, with a strong culture of shamanism and psychoactive mushroom use. It became an unlikely centre for alternative tourism in the 1960s and 70s, after a local healer called María Sabina allowed Westerners to participate in the velada healing ritual.
This Mexican specialty coffee from Red Bank is celebrated for its exceptional flavour profile – a harmonious blend of rich, earthy undertones and bright, fruity notes, making it a delightful and unique coffee experience.
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 Lake District names like Red Bank Coffee Roasters to standout roasters 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.
