INNER STRENGTH 2024
Inner Strength this year is produced by five farms within Cafe Tuxpal, a collection of farms that are thriving in a unique microclimate in the Apaneca Ilamatepec mountain range in El Salvador. With the perfect triad of dry winters, warm summers and fertile volcanic soil, these farms can produce absolute standout coffee and this honey-processed espresso is a prime example of that.
What does honey process mean?
Ripe cherries are picked by hand and taken to a family-owned mill for processing. The outer skin of the coffee cherry is removed, leaving the sticky mucilage of the fruit intact around the bean. During the drying process, this sticky mucilage begins to ferment, allowing the sugars and flavours to be reabsorbed into the bean. This results in a unique flavour profile and adds body and sweetness during roasting. Once dried, the beans undergo dry milling to remove any remaining fruit, are sorted, and graded before being sent to us for the final roasting stage.
Processing in this way infuses the coffee with an intense sweetness, resulting in rich flavours of sticky marmalade, butterscotch and pecan pie, making for an epic-tasting espresso.
STRONGER TOGETHER
£1 per bag donated to our Grounds Up Collective
Inner Strength is a caffeinated fist bump to all the community projects we support through volunteering, mentorship and fundraising throughout the year.
For every bag of Inner Strength espresso sold, we donate £1 to community projects across the UK. Through our Inner Strength coffee, you are supporting people impacted by homelessness in London, vulnerable groups in the Cotswolds, young people from deprived communities across the South West and Wales, and hospitality professionals struggling with their mental health nationwide.
