About

Presenting four exquisite coffees from across East Africa to sip and savour this festive season. Enjoy these bright, vibrant fruit-driven coffees one by one or side by side.

Comprised of 4 x 100g bags, this seasonally appropriate filter coffee set brings together lots from Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda to enjoy during the colder, darker months. Long-time Workshop drinkers will no doubt recognise some of the producers and washing stations responsible, some of whom we've been working with for over a decade.
