Chocolate, Almond
If you're after something dependable that works any time of day and any way you brew it, The Governor is a smooth, chocolatey blend with a gentle almond nuttiness - just as satisfying black as it is with milk. Built around Brazil and Uganda, it's the kind of coffee you'll find yourself coming back to without quite knowing why. It just always hits the spot.
Smooth, chocolatey and reliably easy-going
The Governor is built around Brazil and Uganda - two origins that between them deliver a coffee that's easy to like and hard to fault. There's a smooth chocolate sweetness running through it, with an almond-like nuttiness that gives it a little more character than you might expect from something this approachable.
It works across any brew method - filter, cafetiere, stovetop, whatever your morning routine calls for - and holds up just as well black as it does with milk. If you tend to reach for something reliable and satisfying without wanting to think too hard about it, this is the one. It fits the day rather than demanding your attention, which is exactly the point.
Redemption Roasters have been sourcing and roasting with real care since 2016, and The Governor reflects that - not flashy, just well put together and consistently good in the cup.
About the Roaster
Redemption Roasters was founded in 2016 when Ted and Max were approached by the Ministry of Justice to set up a roastery inside a prison - the idea being to train coffee skills to help reduce reoffending. Eight years on, they run barista academies across four prisons, employ prison leavers at their roastery and shops, and source specialty coffee with the same care and transparency they bring to everything else: direct relationships and honest sourcing.
