HOW WE CHOOSE THEM
WHY THEY COST MORE THAN THE BLENDS
WASHED
The fruit is removed before drying, so the cup comes out clean and bright — florals, citrus, clarity. This is where the Rumudamo sits. Brew it as filter.
NATURAL
Dried whole in the cherry, so the fruit does the talking — sweetness, body, ripe fruit. This is the Yellow Catuaí. Forgiving on filter and espresso alike.

Questions
Start with the flavour notes — every coffee carries three, chosen by our roasters at Bailies. If you like bright, floral, tea-like cups, go washed; if you like sweeter, fuller, fruit-led cups, go natural — the two tiles above explain the difference. Still unsure? Email shop@coffeeangel.com and tell us what you normally drink.
Roasted fresh weekly by Bailies in Belfast, with the roast date printed on every bag. Orders are despatched typically 2–14 days from roast, and the coffee is at its best within 4–6 weeks.
Every 6–12 weeks, our team selects new coffees based on what's exceptional right now. We keep selection small (typically 2 coffees) to encourage deep exploration rather than overwhelming choice. New arrivals are announced via email newsletter—subscribe to be first to know when exciting new origins arrive.
Single origins often have delicate, nuanced flavours that shine with precision brewing. Pour-over methods (V60, Chemex, AeroPress) are ideal for lighter roasts and washed processing. French press works wonderfully for natural-processed and darker roast coffees. Each product page includes specific brewing recommendations tailored to that coffee's characteristics. When in doubt, email us—we love discussing brewing!
Single origins are exceptional coffees from exceptional farms—often award-winning, traceable to specific communities, and processed with meticulous care. Your premium price reaches the farmer, supporting better farming practices, sustainable agriculture, and community development. We work directly with roasters committed to direct trade relationships. Your purchase supports coffee farming families worldwide and incentivises quality over quantity.
Yes — it's a dedicated single-origin lot, an anaerobic natural from Sidama in Ethiopia, cupped and scored the same way as everything else we sell and roasted by Bailies in Belfast. It's ground and nitrogen-sealed straight away, keeps at its best for twelve months, and brews in three to five minutes in hot water — no grinder, no machine. You'll find it in the Brew Bags collection.
