To celebrate the 60th anniversay of the incredible Scarborough & Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team, we are proud to donate 10% of all proceeds from each purchase of The Mountain Blend to these dedicated volunteers. Operating 24/7, 365 days a year, in all weather conditions, the Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team provides crucial assistance to those in need across the North York Moors, Dalby Forest, Yorkshire Wolds, and beyond. Comprised of fifty highly skilled individuals, including doctors, paramedics, and experienced climbers and hillwalkers, they rely entirely on donations and sponsorship to continue their life-saving work. By choosing The Mountain Blend, you're not just enjoying exceptional coffee; you're directly contributing to the safety and well-being of our local community.

This exceptional blend brings together the unique characteristics of two distinct single-origin coffees:

Honduras Aruco

Sourced through Aruco's micro-lot program, this represents the collective efforts of 34 dedicated producers in the Copán region. The natural processing at the Aruco mill, situated at a lower altitude for optimal drying conditions, results in a coffee with rich sweetness and delightful fruit and chocolate undertones. The Aruco Cooperative's commitment to fair prices and sustainable practices ensures a positive impact on the local community.

Brazil Fazenda Angola

Cultivated by Silvio Carlos at the small-scale Angola Farm, this coffee showcases a dedication to sustainable, agroecological farming. The natural process highlights the inherent sweetness and delicate fruit and biscuit notes of the Yellow Catuai and Arara varietals, contributing a balanced and lighter element to the blend.

Pairs perfectly with: The Fatso Home Run bar in the Fatso Foursome. The coffee's bright citric acidity and green apple notes will cut through the richness of the dark chocolate, honeycomb and toffee, whilst harmonizing with the nutty almond flavours. A surprising but delightful pairing. Also, try maching a Mocha with this and the 55% Cocoa Hot Chocolate Flakes by Islands, the coffee's fruit notes (plum raisin, nectarine, orange, berries) will offer a pleasant contrast to the rich cocoa, while the toffee and dark chocolate undertones create a harmonious pairing!
