Every time we return to Scotland it seems the coffee scene has almost completely transformed. Things sure move fast up there, with new roasters emerging every year, it’s exciting times in Scotland! With this set we have managed to capture some of that exciting energy with three discovery roasters in the set and four delicious coffees of the highest standard. Enjoy!

Module, based in Edinburgh, is a small-batch roastery born from the foundation of Lowdown, a respected modern coffee shop established in 2016. Focused on precision, each unique release is omni roasted on a Loring S7 Nighthawk, carefully profiled, packed, and serial-numbered. Limited releases emphasize quality and sustainability, with packaging made from 100% recyclable materials and repurposed papers. Each coffee is an exploration of flavour, guided by hands-on craftsmanship and rigorous quality control. The roastery has just been launched in April where they continue sharing their journey—one precise, expressive box at a time.

We love how the appearance reflects the taste. Just like its stunning design, the coffee delivers bold, unforgettable flavours that perfectly capture the essence of Module.

Williams & Johnson Coffee Company has been sitting in Edinburgh’s port district & creative hub, Leith since 2016. Founded by baristas Zachary Williams and Todd Johnson, the micro roastery is housed in a repurposed 1947 industrial space. Inspired by Melbourne’s Market Lane where they used to work, the duo focuses on clean, vibrant roasts for both espresso and filter. As to their dedication to the craft after nine years, Todd puts it best “When you’re doing something for yourself and you’re passionate about it, it stops feeling like work!”.

One of three discovery roasters this month and we’re delighted to be showcasing a superbly classy & refined Peruvian geisha. Though the beans underwent a 128h fermentation, the taste is so clean you’d swear it was a washed coffee. It’s silk in a glass and you won’t be able to stop until you finish.

Las Etíopes is a 7ha farm situated in the village of El Porvenir in Jaén, Cajamarca. The farm sits at an altitude of 1900m and reaches 2050m at its peak, of the 6ha only two hectares are currently planted with Ethiopian heirloom varieties, gesha, wush wush and sidra. Simon bought the farm in 2019 and the first trees were planted in early 2020. Of the Ethiopian varieties there are around 5 lines, some of which are compact types and others taller and somewhat similar to bourbon or gesha. The gesha grown at the farm is made up of two different lines, one which is a gesha type from Ethiopia and the other is seed from Panamá.

This gesha lot is fermented for a period of 128 hours, of which 12 hours is in cherry and 116 hours after pulping. This long fermentation is possible due to the cool temperature at the farm which delays the process.

Kieran spent his 20s with his partner Sophie producing music in Berlin. When the pandemic hit and opportunities in the music industry vanished, the couple returned to the UK and found a new path in coffee. In 2021, they founded Zennor Coffee in Glasgow—a roastery and a growing network of specialty coffee spaces. Zennor focuses on sourcing rare, seasonal, high-scoring micro-lots crafted to highlight the clarity & brightness. What began as a pivot has evolved into a passion for sharing exceptional coffee experiences.

Our second time working with Zennor because their coffee is just too good and now with their sophisticated new look too! This time we have a newly arrived washed Kenya that shines as bright as the June sun. Notes of rhubarb, sweet forest berries, the perfect citrus acidity and a juicy mouthfeel.

Karinga is a washing station in Kiambu Country, Thika District in the Central Province Kenya. At present there are 650 coop members of which 500 are active farmers. The most unique aspect of this factory is that it is located within tea growing zones. Most of the farmers here also grow tea.

Kenya has a unique double soak washing process. Washed coffee is distinguished by the clarity of the flavours and attributes that it can achieve. The method and supervision of fermentation can make or break a coffee's final outcome. These coffee cherries were hand sorted by the farmers before they went into production. After their skins were removed the coffee was put into fermentation tanks where it was stored at least overnight, then washed, soaked and dried.

Daye Bensa’s Gatta Farm is at the heart of Shantawene Village, in Sidama Bensa, Ethiopia. It sits at an altitude of 2120–2210m in the midst of a natural forest. The site is surrounded by indigenous trees, which are older than 100 years, waterfalls, and rivers.

Gatta Farm was a natural forest before being discovered by the cofounder of Daye Bensa, Mulugeta Dukamo. They planted the first coffees in 2013, and established the drying station in 2017. The vegetation and forest surrounding the farm is useful as natural shade for the farm and the drying station. Plantation, harvesting and processing works are mainly done by the local residents. Women are also involved and are mainly assigned to quality control and processing. By offering working opportunities and proper wage this is a real benefit for the local residents.
