OUR COFFEE

We take our coffee seriously and we think you should too. That’s why we source our beans from the lush highlands of Costa Rica, known for producing some of the most vibrant and complex coffee in the world.

We want to offer something truly unique and delicious, an experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Our menu is a playground for your taste buds, with over 25 unique flavourings across our offerings. From rich caramel and crème brûlée to refreshingly fruity. spiced and nutty notes, there’s a flavour for every mood and moment.

And if you’re looking for a coffee that makes a statement, look no further - we proudly serve the biggest iced latte in the UK, at an astonishing 52oz!

UJI MATCHA

Our very own in-house matcha from Uji, Kyoto, one of the strongest and finest matcha varieties across the Asian continent, is now here.

What makes our Matcha different from others?

1. Single-origin Uji matcha, Kyoto. No sugar. No sweetener. Just real depth.

2. Yabukita cultivar, crafted for natural high umami, not sweetness. No sugar, no syrups, no compromise.

3. Most matcha is sweetened. Ours isn’t. Because real matcha doesn’t need fixing.

4. Shade-grown, first harvest

5. Real high umami is naturally creamy, savoury, and lingering, whereas fake umami are sweetened, flavoured, or flat

You can purchase our matcha in-store, on Amazon, or online, whichever is most convenient for you.😊
