It’s official, we have declared it Christmas time so get the trees out, put the lights up, and turn the kettle on because our annual Christmas blend is back, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this one with you. We always try and find coffees that have Christmas-like qualities to them, and this year we’re excited that they come from two of our most proud relationships as a roastery.
The first coffee that inspired our Christmas blend was our ever-popular Uganda-Kalingwe, from Agrie-Evolve. Agrie Evolve have been long-term producing partners, being both a key part of our espresso blend as well as being able to showcase their amazing and funky naturally processed coffees in our range. The first time we cupped their Kalingwe crop we couldn’t help but notice it’s flavour of ‘wine gums’, which got us thinking if we could find a coffee to pair it with to create a ‘mulled-wine’ themed Christmas blend for 2025.
Our second coffee then came from Falcon Coffees, importers we have worked with since day 1 here at Poblado and who we are proud to source through. Their long term work in Rwanda has brought us some amazing coffee’s throughout the years, and this year’s crop from the Birembo farm in the district of Nyamasheke is perhaps one of the best we’ve tasted, boasting deep notes of mulled wine and red grapes, a perfect match.
Whether it’s served by the tree on Christmas morning or with a mince pie after Christmas dinner, we hope that our Christmas Blend helps make your Christmas feel just a tad more special.
