50% Mbewe / 50% Heza Hills
The idea behind our Sweetshop blend is simple: combine sweet and characterful coffee to create a fun, wildly complex and fruit-driven espresso.
This isn’t about balance and it certainly isn’t about tradition. This is about cramming as much fruit and fun into the cup as possible. We want an espresso that doesn’t taste like anything else.
*To optimise our blend, component percentages are subject to change.

About
ABOUT
A floral, fruity burst of joy, the latest iteration of Sweetshop has landed! Combining two East African components that highlight the ‘Great Lake’s’ region of Africa, Mbewe from Songwe, Tanzania meets Heza Hills from the Kayanza Province in Burundi in this blend.
Tanzanian Mbewe adds a fresh and zesty yet sugary touch to Sweetshop, just in time for your summer brewing. Produced by an AMCOS (Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society), this local cooperative thrives on the initiative of supporting farmers in Tanzania. The society helps increase the potential of the farmers' work and livelihoods by offering advice focusing on agriculture, marketing and access to quality resources such as seeds and fertiliser.
With accents of dried apricot and sunny orange hues, Heza Hills compliments the sweetness of Mbewe wonderfully. Produced at Heza Washing Station, it sits on a backdrop of adventurous mountainsides, hand built log bridges and the community that live in the surrounding hills is comprised mostly of coffee farmers. With Heza meaning ‘beautiful place’ in Kirundi, the local language of Burundi, the station truly lives up to its name!
