George Street Blend

Description

Certified Organic by the Soil Association, George Street Blend is our go-to house coffee. Strong enough to shine through milk, George Street is carefully roasted to highlight the coffee’s robust, natural flavours while also pushing through a deep sweetness that helps create a syrupy body. This version of our mainstay blend was created by combining two coffees, one from our Peruvian partners Cooperativa La Prosperidad de Chirinos and a new addition from Ethiopia Guji. These coffee’s combine to bring flavours of sweet butterscotch, chocolate and red berry acidity. We particularly think this iteration of George St is tasting absolutely fantastic as a flat white. Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera La Prosperidad de Chirinos, founded in 1968 in Chirinos, Cajamarca, Peru, unites over 800 smallholder farmers cultivating around 2,200 hectares of high-altitude Arabica coffee (1,200–2,000 m). The cooperative is renowned for producing fully washed, specialty-grade coffee varieties such as Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, and Pache. Its production is organic, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Smithsonian Bird Friendly, and Regenerative Agriculture certified — reflecting a deep commitment to environmental stewardship and biodiversity protection. These certifications ensure sustainable farming practices, forest conservation, and habitat preservation for native wildlife. Beyond quality coffee, La Prosperidad invests in community development, offering agronomic training, micro-financing, and leadership programs for women and youth. Members practice agroforestry and organic soil management to preserve ecosystems and enhance resilience against climate change. The cooperative’s coffees are celebrated for their clean, sweet profile, bright acidity, and balance, often scoring above 80 points in specialty grading. With decades of experience, strong traceability, and a holistic sustainability approach, La Prosperidad de Chirinos stands as one of Peru’s leading examples of regenerative, socially inclusive, and environmentally responsible coffee production.
