Balat roastery that teaches customers to roast and runs harvest trips to Ethiopia.
Customers can book a Roast Yourself session on the drum roaster behind a glass wall at the back of the Balat shop, or a Brew Yourself class, and Benesso also sells places on a harvest tour of Ethiopia's coffee farms.
The range runs to uncommon origins. A washed lot from Madagascar's Itasy Highlands is Bourbon Pointu rested eight weeks in parchment, and a collaboration with Dubai's Cypher brought Udaini from Haraaz in Yemen. Kenyan cooperative lots from Meru, Nyeri and Embu sit beside a Kent-172 natural from the Vohora family's estate in Tanzania.
