We serve Black Gold daily at our Espresso Bar alongside our other sensational coffee offerings. It’s favoured by many and part of people’s daily routines, and we couldn’t be more proud of it. Over the years Black Gold has been featured in many Great taste awards and become the coffee of choice within cafes across the UK.

Black Gold is hand-roasted to just beyond first crack to give it a rich espresso zing while still retaining the natural flavours gained at origin. Its rich chocolate and biscuit base make it very drinkable. It’s a post-blended coffee, currently made up of Fazenda do Salto, Minca, and Finca El Parisio.

Fazenda Do Salto

A family owned farm, with a history that goes back 100 years!

The name of the farm is related to the other passion of the family, namely horses. ‘Salto’ means ‘Jump’ in Portuguese and the family achieved many prizes in competitions.

Otávio’s parents have been in the coffee business for over a century so coffee was in his blood even before he was born. Otávio and the team have developed a static drying technique which they believe helps develop flavour, body and aromas in the cup. At fazenda do salto Almost all of the energy is generated from natural methods, either solar energy or through recycled by-products from the farm itself.
