Tigermoth's Caburn Blend is made up of two coffees: a natural coffee from Brazil and a washed coffee from Timor-Leste. It's our take on a more traditional espresso blend, with classic flavours of dark chocolate and hazelnut, plenty of body and some light citrus acidity.
Timor-Leste, Moto Bandeira
Timor-Leste is facing huge economic upheaval as its oil reserves begin to run dry. Coffee is already the second-highest earner for the country after oil, with 37 per cent of households dependent on coffee for income, and in the future it will become an even more crucial export. This coffee comes from Ermera, a municipality where 60 per cent of the population live below the poverty line. Raw Material is working with producers and farmers to address the challenges that stand in the way of selling in the speciality market. The Moto Bandeira coffee is named after a waterfall in the region, and is grown under the shade of wild forests, free from fertilisers and chemicals.
Brazil, Monteiro Lobato, Natural
This is a blend of coffees from 20 small farms in the São José to Rio Pardo region. The coffee is sourced through Ocafi, an importer that is working to improve overall quality, and the transparency and fairness of the production process. Ocafi pays a premium to farmers, on top of the market price, to help ensure coffee growers receive a fair price. Ocafi is also focused on sustainable farming and conservation. Each Ocafi farm has a dedicated nature reserve to support local flora and fauna and encourage biodiversity, and a native tree is planted for every sack of the Monteiro Lobato coffee sold.
