The Easter gift from London's Square Mile is back! This year, the limited Easter FILTER Blend combines two carefully selected batches from La Coipa in Peru and La Plata in Colombia. In the cup you'll find juicy blackberries, creamy chocolate and a subtle touch of hazelnut. The perfect filter partner when you want to sweeten Easter with something other than a chocolate bunny.
The blend consists of two coffees: Estrella Divina from Peru and San Sebastian from Colombia. The former comes from the La Coipa region, which Square Mile knows well thanks to its collaboration with the local Origin Coffee Lab. It's a community blend that harmoniously combines microlots from small farmers. This Peruvian ingredient gives the blend a typical northern Peruvian profile - blackcurrant, cocoa beans and a juicy fruity acidity reminiscent of red plum. The other part of the blend, San Sebastian, comes from the La Plata and La Argentina region in southern Huila. Three local farmers contributed coffee with notes of dried raisins, red and green apples and a nice, buttery smooth texture.
Both coffees have undergone washed processing, which highlights their purity and fruity character. After hand-picking, the coffee cherries were mechanically stripped of their skins and some of their flesh. This was followed by fermentation in water tanks, where enzymes naturally removed the residual pulp. The beans were then thoroughly washed and dried on raised beds to ensure even drying and to preserve maximum flavour potential. The blend perfectly combines the subtle sweetness of La Plata with the sparkling acidity of La Coipa. And since this is an Easter limited edition, don't hesitate too long - this fresh spring blend won't be with us forever.
