A bolder two coffee pairing bringing heavier flavours to accommodate the addition of milk.

This essentially allows us to celebrate more coffees "we love" (that additionally may have a small lot size), finds a nice middle point between “single” and “blend”, and sets us a great Quality Control challenge to make an interesting and different product to Candyman that fluctuates seasonally, as the components change more frequently.

The Ones We Love will have has less focus on consistency of flavours per se, and more on short run, special profiles with high character.

The espresso version also has the requirement to have great presence in milk.

 

Contributing Producers

 

Ader Recinos, from Huehuetenango, Guatemala
Regional lot from Planadas, Tolima, Colombia
Hunda Oli Cooperative, Limu, Ethiopia

It's important to us that blends comprise quality ingredients that are proudly identified and no less wholesomely purchased. Candyman presently showcases a freshly arrived Colombian regional lot we've built from small producer friends based around Planadas, Tolima (members of ASOPEP cooperative). Our “friends and neighbours” purchases are super sweet, clean and well processed like all of our purchases, but simply do not possess the distinguishing characteristics (or volume sufficiency) that enable us to feature them on their own.
Pricing Transparency

All contributors to The Ones We Love have received price premiums that reflect their artisan efforts and “livelihood” remuneration. Specifically, Ader received Q1500 per quintal (almost double the prevailing Fairtrade price at the time) and the Ethiopian micro-lot was purchased not less than 2.25 times the prevailing market price in February 2020 when the lot was purchased.
