SEPTEMBER 2024 DISCOVERY | GREAT RIFT WARRIOR
BRIGHT, BLACKCURRANT, APRICOT
ABOUT THE COFFEE
As Take on Me is to 80s synth-pop, our September Discovery is a classic example of the genre - rich, bright, and full of berry and apricot flavours. The illustration on the sacks gives plenty away about this coffee’s country of origin, right down to the colours of its flag.
This month, our regular Discovery Coffee donation is going to our latest Community Impact Fund partner Surrey Wildlife Trust. To hear more about this month’s Discovery Coffee and hear how our Head Roaster Elizabeth thinks it’s best brewed, check out her latest video update here.
Being a medium roast, our September Discovery Coffee tastes delicious no matter how you choose to brew it.

WHAT IS A DISCOVERY COFFEE?
Each month we introduce a new and interesting coffee from around the world. This could be a new origin or region that we haven’t sourced from before, a new process or varietal, or something seasonal with a unique flavour profile.
The full origin and coffee information is purposely hidden - you can only find out where this coffee is from by scanning the QR code on the front of the bag. This is simply because A) we want to introduce the element of surprise, B) we want to remove origin bias (preconceptions about a coffee based on where it comes from), and C) we love making up the clues for each new coffee!
We only have a limited supply of each new Discovery Coffee, and each one is only available from the 1st until the last day of the month. Discovery Coffee Subscribers and those who are signed up to our newsletter have first priority on this coffee, so don't wait too long if you'd like to try something new!

RE-CYCLE
As part of our Discovery Coffee initiative, we’re incredibly pleased to partner up with Re-Cycle (Bikes to Africa), a small charity who recycle bikes from the UK and ships them to rural communities in Africa, changing people’s lives for the better and saving the environment at the same time. Chimney Fire Coffee will be donating 25p for every 250g bag or £1 for every 1kg bag of Discovery Coffee to support their work and help make it easier for people to get to work, school or other necessities. For every 28 kilos of coffee we roast, a single bike plus spare parts will be sent to Africa.
We’re really excited about introducing this coffee to you and hope it will give some an opportunity to showcase new and interesting origins, flavours and stories. We also want to highlight that feedback is welcome! Whether you really like or dislike a coffee, please let us know - you never know, we might end up sourcing it and adding it to our core range for the next crop year!
