This bold espresso blend is an easy drinking, workhorse blend that is perfect for milk-based coffees & has us dreaming of a decadent caramel, dark chocolate & hazelnut tart!
Wingman is the perfect all-rounder. A full-bodied coffee with mild acidity and a beautifully balanced finish. It’s our go-to blend: a real crowd pleaser. And just like any great wingman, it’s always got your back.
This blend is made up of three delicious single origins from Brazil, Honduras & India. We constantly update the blend with fresh crop coffees, aiming to keep the flavour profile as consistent as possible. So you can rest assured, the beans are always fresh, but it tastes just like the coffee you know & love!
We’ve carefully sourced each of the origins that make up our Ultimate Wingman blend from the farms below:
Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza (meaning environmental fortress farm) has been owned by the Barretto family since 1850. When Silvia and her husband, Marcos, inherited the farm in 2001 they focused on becoming socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. They’ve also been past recipients of sustainability awards from the SCA.
The Bob-o-link coffees are sourced from a network of family-run farms. The farmers share a collective vision to produce the best coffees possible, using sustainable agricultural methods. FAF offer their workers a 50% share of the coffees they plant to give each member a greater sense of ownership.
The coffee is selectively handpicked at its ripest to ensure flavour, sweetness & a clean cup. it’s then dried naturally, either in raised beds or on cement patios.
Fun fact: the Bobolink project was named after the birds who migrate to the area every Autumn.
Coming out of the lush mountains of Santa Bárbara, Honduras, the El Pino lot is sourced from hundreds of smallholder farms nestled between Lake Yojoa and the peaks of the Santa Bárbara range. At around 1,250 masl, these farms benefit from cool altitudes, rich volcanic soils and a long coffee‑growing tradition. This has become a world-recognised coffee origin, with many of the country’s Cup of Excellence winners coming from farms located high on the Santa Bárbara Mountain.
This community‑style lot features a mix of varieties including Pacas, Parainema, Catuai and Bourbon. El Pino is processed using traditional Washed processing. Freshly harvested coffee cherries are manually pulped before being fermented for approximately 16 hours. The fermented coffee is then washed to remove the mucilage, and the washed parchment coffee is dried until reaching its optimal humidity.
This coffee has a classic Honduran heavy/syrupy mouthfeel, balanced chocolate and caramel sweetness with a little bit of soft citrus acidity.
Nestled in the verdant landscapes of the Western Ghats in southern India, the Chikmagalur region is a hidden gem in the world of specialty coffee. Located in the state of Karnataka, Chikmagalur boasts an average altitude of around 1,000m above sea level, making it an ideal location for coffee cultivation. The Western Ghats are one of the few vitally important, global eco-hotspots, with farmers in the region taking particular care to grow shade grown, environmentally responsible coffee.
Coffee cherries are depulped and fermented to remove the mucilage. The beans are then washed and spread out to dry, either on raised beds or drying patios.
Robusta coffee sometimes gets a bad wrap. Likely because low quality robusta has been used to bulk out many large-scale, commercial blends for years. That’s certainly not the case here!
Just like arabica, all coffees were not created equally & range wildly in quality. We source only high quality robusta coffee. In fact, it’s the addition of the robusta that gives our Wingman blend its big body & rich flavour notes, characteristics that have made it a cult favourite with our customers.
We’d love to officially debunk the ‘all robusta is bad’ myth. It just needs to be added with intention & purpose to bring out the best in a blend. That’s what we’ve done here & we think you’ll agree as soon as you taste it!
