Bad x Percival Christmas Collab

BAD X PERCIVAL

We've teamed up with our Hackney Wick neighbours Percival for their Chirstmas gifting 2024. This collaboration brings together our mutual dedication to craft, playfulness, and a love for the unexpected.

We’ve roasted three different offerings for Percival:

Espresso Blend: Nat Has Her Beans
The rare Colombian Pink Bourbon Remolinos
And an adventurous Honduran 72-hour Fermentation named Finca Joconte.

Each roast embodies the ethos of experimentation, quality, and sustainable sourcing, a nod to Percival’s approach to rare fabrics and breaking with convention.

Together, we're excited to fuel not just coffee cups and wardrobes but also ideas, inspiration, and the creative spark that drives Hackney Wick forward.

La Finca

Honduras 72-Hr Ferment

Balbino Cortez Pérez is a passionate coffee producer who has been honing his craft since inheriting his family's coffee farm. His unique approach includes a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation process that gives the coffee its distinct flavor profile.

After hand-harvesting, cherries are placed in sealed barrels to ferment, enhancing the sweetness and complexity of the beans. The farm operates under shade, promoting biodiversity and ensuring high-quality coffee. After fermentation, the cherries are solar-dried for 20 to 29 days, carefully maintaining the right moisture content to preserve their flavor. Balbino prioritizes sustainability, maintaining plant health through sucker removal, shade regulation, and organic fertilizers made from coffee pulp and other nutrient-rich by-products.

Harvesting is done by hand to ensure only the finest cherries are selected. Water used during processing and for family consumption comes from a natural spring, and the family is committed to environmental stewardship, planting trees annually for restoration.

Remolinos

Colombian Pink Bourbon

Remolinos represents the best of Colombian coffee—a rare Pink Bourbon selection from the highlands of Huila, known for its balanced, high-quality cup. Since its introduction in 2014, this variety has captivated producers in San Adolfo, Acevedo, and beyond due to its impressive rust resistance, exceptional yield, and distinctive flavor profile. Huila is Colombia’s largest coffee-producing region and has earned an international reputation for quality. With a dedicated lab, producers can now analyze and separate top-quality lots, elevating each cup to premium standards and encouraging more growers to enter the specialty market.

This carefully curated coffee offers a caramel sweetness, creamy texture, and subtle citrus acidity, making it ideal for both espresso and filter. Named after the “Remolinos,” or whirlpools, that flow through South Huila’s rivers, this coffee captures the region’s unique terroir and rich history. The area’s soil and climate benefit from the Colombian Massif, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, ensuring Remolinos is as balanced and distinct as the land it’s grown on.
