More about this coffee

This Pink Bourbon lot is grown between 1,400 and 2,200m by the smallholders of Palestina, in Huila. The cherries are pulped, fermented, then washed, in the washed process.

Singular's post-it: a luminous, elegant Pink Bourbon. Blood orange brings the acidity, apricot the softness, and the finish recalls a cup of Earl Grey, floral and slightly tannic.

Smallholders of Palestina

Palestina, Huila, Colombia 🇨🇴

Eternal Light brings together lots from smallholders in Palestina, a coffee-growing municipality of Huila, in southern Colombia. The variety is Pink Bourbon, discovered in 2014 in the neighbouring village of San Adolfo, in Acevedo: Palestina was one of the first to adopt it, for its cup quality but also for its productivity and its resistance to leaf rust.

Grown between 1,400 and 2,200m, the cherries are pulped, fermented, then washed, in a classic washed process. The cooperatives of Huila have built their reputation on training: producers learn to cup their own coffees and their children follow SENA's free courses, from production to roasting. The result is a clean, luminous lot, which Dark Arts roasts light.

Dark Arts Coffee

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Dark Arts Coffee began with a bluff. In 2014, Brad Morrison, a New Zealand barista living in Hackney, had had enough of the coffee he was serving and told his boss he could do better. The boss agreed to change supplier if Brad set up his own roastery. The money came from Colin Mitchell, met the year before at a motorcycle festival. Brad sums up the deal in his own way: "a barista with no roasting experience convinced someone with even less to give him money." The pair set up under a railway arch in Homerton, an area then so unfashionable that Brad's mother, looking for the address, first came across a mugging in front of the arch.

Rather than imitating sleek Scandinavian-style roasteries, Dark Arts embraces what its founders really love: the occult, choppers, heavy metal and 1970s horror films. The coffees are called Cult of Doom, Holy Mountain or, for the decaf, Life After Death. Beneath the skulls, Jamie Strachan, head of coffee and self-confessed metal fan, selects emerging origins, Indonesia, East Timor, Guerrero in Mexico, and roasts light. During the lockdowns, online sales jumped by more than 1,000%, and Sprudge ended up listing the house among its notable roasters.
