My final (official) Workshop Coffee.
After a little over a decade, today’s my final day at Workshop. It’s nigh on impossible to crystallise 10 years into a short post, but I did my best here: instagram.com/p/C7okm_zIjDi/…

🥃 iced filter coffee season
Our 1st Kenyan release of the season is the only lot selected from Kiambu county this year. Less berry-driven than upcoming coffees from Kiranyaga county, its tangy acidity, floral aromatics & refined sweetness arrive just in time for iced coffee season.

Our coffee bar takeover at Exeter’s @explodingbakery cafe begins today. Every single day throughout June, you’ll be able to find an extensive range of our espresso and filter roasts to enjoy there and then, to takeaway and to brew at home.
Currently reading this from @TheSchoolOfLife. It’s unsurprisingly brilliant, breaking down the works of Eastern and Western thinkers across a range of subjects in a clear, accessible way.
