Very special coffee alert‼️ Buena Vista tastes like a chocolate milkshake jumped straight into your coffee cup 🥤 🍫

This delicious nano-lot is the result of careful cherry selection and innovative processing by producer Juan Darío Gómez at Finca Buena Vista.

Fully ripe cherries are first fermented in bags for 36 hours before being mechanically pulped and transferred to a tank for a second 36-hour dry fermentation with oxygen exposure. The coffee is then rinsed twice and dried slowly for around 15 days, allowing the flavours to develop with clarity and stability.

The result is a rich, indulgent cup with a distinctive Nutella-like sweetness, creamy liqueur character and juicy cherry finish.

We took 50 cans of this coffee to the recent Belfast Coffee Festival and it sold out quickly. Now available online?

Delighted to participate in the ‘Roasting in a Volatile World’ panel Belfast Coffee Festival. The importance to close connections with coffee farmers was one of the themes that popped up several times - something that we’ve always put a strong emphasis on at Carrow 🌱

Fantastic day yesterday cupping coffees with other Irish Q Graders. The aim was to calibrate taste preferences, and have a more unified position on what constitutes ‘specialty’ coffee. A big thanks to Alin from Coffee Laboratory for organising 🙏

New coffee alert ‼️ Starmaya from Costa Rica is truly special - with w**ey fruit notes that remind us of Acai, cherry cola and dark chocolate 🍫 🍒

We’re really excited to bring you this exceptional coffee from Vista Paraiso, one of five family farms managed by the Alvarado Fonseca family in Costa Rica’s Brunca region.

This is our first coffee from the Starmaya variety, with bright acidity, a syrupy jam sweetness and a long, fruity finish, with notes of açaí and dark chocolate.

The family established Corazón de Jesús wet mill in 2015 and has since become known for its experimental approach to processing and precise fermentation. Their coffees have earned numerous podium finishes at Costa Rica’s Cup of Excellence, including first place in both the washed and natural categories in 2025.

Certified as a regenerative farm, Vista Paraiso protects native forests and water sources while restoring soil health through regenerative practices.

It’s back! Bomba de Fruta is … (you guessed it), pretty fruity, with notes of boozy fruit cake, cherry and cacao.

Marysabel and her husband Moises own several small farms in Marcala, south-eastern Honduras, where they have perfected the art of producing naturally processed coffees that are both funky and remarkably clean.

Expect lots of w**ey fruit notes and a silky smooth mouthfeel, transitioning to pronounced flavours of dark chocolate on the finish. It’s a complex and multilayered coffee, especially suited to filter brewing.

New coffee 🚂 Bolivian Express is smooth and sweet, with notes of Stonefruit, Butterscotch, Almonds 🍬

Grown high in the Andes, this certified organic coffee is bursting with a vibrant energy, just like the Espresso del Sur train which speeds through the same mountain range.

Expect juicy fruit notes, pronounced sweetness and crisp acidity, leading to a rich butterscotch finish. This is our first coffee from Bolivia and our first Direct Trade relationship with the country.

The coffee comes from smallholder farmers who are members of Asocafé, a local cooperative supporting growers with agronomy and coffee-processing expertise while helping them achieve high standards and fair prices.

A lively, sweet and beautifully balanced coffee with plenty of character.
