Uncommon
(Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Uncommon, based in Amsterdam, is a specialty coffee roaster based on the principle that every coffee is unique because every coffee has its own uncommon story. I’m very excitied to have a rare Kenyan natural in our set as it's very unusual to find an experimental natural microlots from Kenya (and a tasty one too!). The great thing about this coffee is Uncommon paid directly to famers above their asking price to back their experiments.
