Milk Chocolate, Blackcurrant, Battenberg Cake
A full-bodied Peruvian coffee with milk chocolate warmth, a lift of blackcurrant and a soft, cake-like sweetness in the finish. Grown by 800 women across the CECANOR Co-operative as part of the Café Femenino programme, it holds up well however you brew it - and it's easy to feel good about buying.
Dark, rich and blackcurrant-bright espresso
This is a coffee with a story worth knowing, though it holds up just as well in the cup without it. Grown by 800 women across six associations within the CECANOR Co-operative, the Café Femenino programme was founded in Peru in 2004 by 464 female producers building a fairer trading platform for women in coffee - it now spans nine countries and thousands of growers. The coffee itself reflects that breadth: Bourbon, Catuai, Catimor and Typica sit alongside the rarer Gran Colombia and Villa Sarchi varietals, and you can taste the complexity that brings.
In the cup, it's rich-bodied with a fairly bright acidity - milk chocolate and blackcurrant up front, with a battenberg-cake sweetness that rounds things out. It drinks well across most brew methods, comfortable as a morning filter or pulled through an espresso machine. Wogan's team describes it as a day-starter, and that feels right - there's enough going on to be interesting, but nothing that demands your full attention before the first sip.
