Dear Coffee Explorer,
Happy New Year, and welcome to 2025! 🎉 I hope your holidays were filled with joy, warmth, and—of course—plenty of great coffee. As we step into a brand-new year, I remain hopeful that our long-awaited relocation to the Scottish Highlands will finally gain momentum. Until then, I’m grateful for the steady comfort of a great cup of coffee—and I’m thrilled to share three exceptional coffees with you this month.
But first, a little surprise…
🎁 Bonus Offering: 1kg of El Jaragual | Ombligon | Colombia Available! 🎁
I’ve got 1kg of El Jaragual | Ombligon left over from Christmas, and it’s available to be roasted to order just for you. This rare and luxurious coffee delivers jammy fruit flavours, tropical acidity, and a white chocolate finish—it’s the perfect treat to kick off the year in style.

☕ A Moment for Reflection…
As we kick off the new year, it’s the perfect time to pause and ask: Is the two-bag subscription still the right fit for you?
Perhaps you’d like to experience all three coffees each month for the full journey.
Or maybe one special bag is enough for you—a little monthly treat.
I can now offer flexibility: one bag, two bags, or all three. Whatever works best for you, just let me know, and I’ll make it happen.
☕ Stock Up for a Bright Start to 2025!
Start the year right by grabbing an extra bag (or two!) of your favourites from this month’s selection. With your subscriber discount, you’ll enjoy exclusive pricing—so don’t miss out.
Thank you for being part of this coffee journey. Your support keeps the kettle boiling, and I’m excited to share another year of fantastic coffee adventures with you.
Here’s to a bright and flavourful start to 2025—may it be filled with warmth, joy, and incredible brews.
