This Lunar New Year begins the Fire Horse year, traditionally linked with freedom, movement, and the pursuit of success.
Since 2016, our work has centred on developing long-term relationships with coffee farmers and producers across Asia, bringing some of the earliest Chinese specialty coffee lots to the UK. These partnerships continue today through our ongoing work with and partner producers at Banka, Baima, Gui Ben, Kaku, and D**gka.
Lunar New Year has become a natural moment for sharing Asian coffees more widely. It has been encouraging to see these origins take a more consistent place on roasters’ menus and in everyday drinking.
We wish our partners, customers, and community a prosperous year ahead in the Fire Horse year.
