*As part of our seasonal adjustments to maintain freshness, we update the components of The Truth blend annually. We recently changed the blend from Brazil/Honduras back to a Brazil/Peru blend.
The Truth is our house blend and a timeless classic. We work with two outstanding producers to create a blend that is consistent, balanced, sweet and works great with milk. Our focus is on building long-term and sustainable relationships with our entire supply chain in order to ensure consistency, traceability and great quality.
The Brazilian element is grown by Guy Carvalho, who owns Fazenda Paraiso, whom we’ve worked with for years. He runs a very well organised and modern farm and the result is evident in his super consistent coffee that is sweet, silky and brings a lovely syrupy mouthfeel to the blend. Guy is an agronomist by trade and is very involved in the cultivation, harvesting and modern processing of his coffees. With his passion for agronomy, Guy is invested in producing coffee in a socially and environmentally sustainable way.
The Peruvian element is from the Jaen region of Peru, where different elevations create a diversity of micro-climates. We bought this coffee from Caravela coffee – an importer dedicated to sourcing high-quality coffees from Latin America. They offer a hands-on approach, with boots on the ground at origin; providing education and support to producers. 20 small-scale coffee growers contribute green coffee to the Velo De Novia community blend. This coffee delivers a sweetness and a red fruit juiciness that really rounds off the finish on the palate.
