In 2025 we had a real affinity for Indonesian coffees. They have a beautiful body and brightness to them. The 2026 crop is no different. We called this coffee Between Acts because once you see the tasting notes you'll understand. It's a coffee that reminds us of spending time with friends, between acts, at a festival.

Where this batch is in its resting cycle
Perfectly good to drink anytime — this is just our guide to getting the most from it.
Why we suggest resting coffee

For many years we were taught that fresh is best for coffee. That's no longer the case, in fact it is the opposite. We're big advocates of letting coffee rest and age, much like we're used to doing with wine, but over a shorter span than your 2014 Pinot Noir. With espresso, after 2 weeks the coffee really starts to open up, and keeps going; we've drunk espresso 8 weeks off roast and it's tasted great. For filter, 6–8 weeks is when we see it come into a league of its own — honestly, we've equally been drinking it over 4 months off roast and tasting its best. This isn't to say you can't drink our coffee whenever — we love drinking a coffee through its ageing cycle to watch it open up.

Chapter 01 · The Producer

Finca De Bermen, on the volcanic soils of North Sumatra.

Finca De Bermen sits on the volcanic slopes of North Sumatra, the kind of soil and altitude combination that gives Indonesian coffees their unmistakable depth. The lot is processed Anaerobic Natural — cherries are sealed and fermented without oxygen before slow drying, building layers of fruit complexity you won't find in a standard wash. Imported by our partners at Opal Coffee, kept tight from farm to roastery.

II · In the Cup

Dark fruits, a Negroni bitter twist, chocolate weight on the finish.

Heavy and theatrical — plums and blackberry up front, a campari-like bitterness in the middle, deep cocoa on the finish. The kind of cup you slow down for.
