Assembly House Espresso

Assembly's single-origin house espresso, sourced for prominent sweetness, low acidity and viscous texture so it works black and with milk (and in a French press). Currently a selection of day lots from smallholders in Cajamarca, northern Peru.

Brazil — Daterra Low Caffeine (Year 3)

A naturally low-caffeine pairing from Daterra: Aramosa, an Arabica x Racemosa hybrid with about half the caffeine, and Laurina, a sweet Bourbon mutation with 25-50% of Arabica's caffeine. No decaffeination involved.

NaturalBrazil

Brazil — Mió Calase

A world exclusive to Assembly from Fazenda Mió's Ribeirão das Pedras plot: dried as a natural for about nine days in a dehumidifier and rested in wooden silos. Rich chocolate, ripe stone fruit and a full body.

Colombia — CGLE Sudan Rume

A 10-Year Series release from Café Granja La Esperanza, which has spent decades exploring unusual varieties across its network of farms. A natural Sudan Rume, one of coffee's rarer varieties, prized for floral aromatics and a bright, tea-like character.

NaturalColombia

Blueberry, Lemongrass, Vibrant

Colombia — Cata Pacamara

Built from Salado Blanco smallholder lots using low-resource, replicable post-harvest methods: close to five days fermenting in cherry, a 24-hour fermentation after depulping, then a final wash. Fudge, spiced rum and mandarin, for filter or espresso.

Mandarin, Fudge, Rich

Colombia — Cata Reserva Year 2

From a sunlit 4.5-acre plot of mature Castillo, hand-sorted, oxidised in open tanks for two to three days, then pulped and sealed for four days with coffee mosto and panela, a controlled fermentation that avoids boozy notes.

Colombia — Cata x Zarza Wush Wush

The seventh 10-Year Series release: a natural Wush Wush from Jonathan Gasca's competition-fixture Finca Zarza in Huila, sourced through Cata Export. A return to a variety that holds a special place in Assembly's history.

A honey-processed Pacamara with 48 hours of controlled fermentation, which softens the variety's bright citrus acidity slightly and builds a weightier, more structured body.

Assembly's first-ever drip bag — a single-serve, nitrogen-flushed portion of the Rumudamo natural from Ethiopia, for a clean and consistent cup anywhere.

Chamomile, Apple, Silky

Ecuador — La Rosita Typica Mejorado

Rosa Morillo favours washed processing because La Rosita's rain and cloud make honeys and naturals hard to dry. This Typica Mejorado is fermented in cherry for 24 hours, pulped, fermented 12 more hours and washed.

£14.50 / 200g

Cherry from communities around Bensa, processed at Gatta: floated, then dried on raised beds for 14-18 days. The altitude and cool temperatures give small, dense beans and a syrupy, fruit-forward cup with bergamot florals and clarity.

Ethiopia — Gatta 168 Hour Anaerobic

The penultimate release in Assembly's 10-Year Series: ripe cherries sealed in GrainPro bags and submerged in cold-water tanks for 168 hours, then dried on raised beds. A refinement of Daye Bensa's early Gatta experiment of sinking the bags in the river, it keeps Sidama's vibrant fruit in a clean, balanced cup.

Guatemala — Santa Irene Geisha

The fourth 10-Year Series release and a returning favourite from Carlos Estrada's Santa Irene, sourced through a decade-long partnership with Coffee Bird. Cobán has no real dry season, only constant mist and rain ("chipi-chipi"), which shapes how this natural Geisha is dried.
