(22/100) coffee

2012 and we had been invited to our first permanent tricycle site under @thelondongherkin – it was our big break after the roller coaster summer.⁣

⁣Despite opening in a snowstorm and surviving many a gale, it was a huge, overnight success for which we are forever grateful. We had so much pride in it – our espresso was even served in beautiful Damien Hirst cups until they lost their battle with outdoor life one by one.⁣

⁣We were bringing proper Aussie coffee to the City which I hoped was crying out for it (as I had just quit my job around the corner!)⁣

⁣There was some great coffee out there - @monmouthcoffee in Borough Market, @kaffeinelondon in the West End and @prufrockcoffee in Leather Lane but nothing in the City where late nights and early mornings made it as essential medicine as Tiger King binging in lockdown.⁣

⁣We originally served @monmouthcoffee (co-incidentally sharing the name of our family farm back in Aus) before we found our brothers from another mother @theroastingpartyuk. These young crazy Australian boys (now wise fathers) recently off the boat, roasted our own bespoke dream blend for us – our Beany Green house brew.⁣

⁣Beany Green coffee is a carefully curated mix of top grade, speciality beans from Brazil, Guatemala and Colombia paired in order to create deep chocolatey notes, a mellow dark berry acidity and a smooth, clean “moorish” finish in the cup. I’m drinking it now as I write this and it is still as good today as it was then.⁣

⁣I’ll do a post later on coffee ranging from how to make a truly great flat white to speaking at the New York Coffee Festival, but right now I want to shout out that our house Beany Green blend is available online for the first time , in many forms; the most recently introduced being our Warhol inspired ‘Collectible Can of Beans’.

⁣The coffee was enjoyed with our delicious homemade banana bread (it hadn’t yet won its award then) and stunning fresh pastries.⁣ Our banana bread recipe to follow!
