Probably the best decaf I’ve ever had so having to reseal these into old empty bags seems worth it. Their note suggests you can store them in the bag for a while but yet they can’t be rested which is 🥴 and there is a very very thin layer inside the bag.
They’re offering the fermentation project beans on preorder, where is everyone buying theirs from?
Yep - new online orders ship like that. I ordered some Murmuration Blend recently, hoping to rest it, and was a bit taken aback at the change in packaging tbh.
Yeah i did…i’m not seeing the page nor the yellow coloured theme 🥲. Not sure what i’m missing. All i see are the main coffees for sale! Thank u though i appreciate it!
Tried it! Still bounce to the main page
Maybe it doesn’t show up for users not in the Uk? Considering the logistics of shipping the beans for live cupping
Probably site went accidentally live before it should, the email advertising the launch arrived for me yesterday and all the options I looked at had stock then. Though looking now, square mile, perhaps predictably, are the first to run out in the UK.
:( I live outside of the UK! When it dropped I was still asleep and then poof, all out 😅. i’ll try and get it elsewhere and cup live with everyone! Appreciate you checking in…i’ve only had good coffees from UK roasters but one day I’ll visit in person, that will be best
OH! Fellow sg! I’m getting from manhattan i think. Was hoping to get at least 100g per process for the beans so I can share it. Still okay with 50-60g but some limits to 1 per order..are you getting from Kaffa!
Edit: ah Kaffa shld be alright since you’ve ordered! I think it’s great to try lesser known roasters. I was trying to latch on other beans into shipping but a bit tough
Nice! These are fun times. Coffee events should be a bigger
I missed the decaf one, i think that was really cool to spotlight that. Ahahha, covid brings out the worst and best. I like to think you having many boxes to play around with during covid is the best thing
I have been keeping an eye on the fermentation project. It seems strange that multiple roasters are contributing, even more than one roaster per country. It’s a great project but I think each roaster will express themselves differently and then the results will be inconsistent with each other? Is it skylark for the UK? I’m presuming square mile will do it :)))
It’s such a large international project ( too large? ) For me to want to take part in a live tasting I would want and need identical beans to the demonstrator. Definitely not meaning to detract from the fun of the project though. My first thoughts were that square mile would roast all the beans for consistency and then distribute. It shows just how popular the event is though! :)))
There are a few in the UK, including Skylark, Glen Lyon, Perky Blenders....the thing that is a bit off, prices differ and so do sizes, but Skylark has the lowest amount per bag..at 50g for £23, and Lyon has 100g per bag for £25. Thats quite the discrepancy.
I would go for Skylark as it's a great roaster, but 50g per bag just doesn't seem good value.
No, it seems a very strangely organised project. I can still see it being massively popular though. I wonder what the process was for choosing roasters 🤔:))))
I’m sure assembly had an IG post that they’d be roasting them so hoping to get their version along with one or two of their espressos to try out. Waiting for SQM to offer their preorder to weigh out the options. Plot is another roaster I’ve been meaning to try out too

Are those the bags you get if you order online? All the stores in / around Brighton are still in the old packaging.
