COFFEE STORY

Smooth Sailing was created with a simple goal: to offer a 100% Arabica espresso that is sweet, balanced and enjoyable every day. A coffee with plenty of character, yet smooth and approachable, bringing together notes of cocoa, caramel and dried fig.

The journey began with two coffees that naturally complemented each other.

Our Brazilian Arabica comes from Fazenda Dois Irmãos, in Minas Gerais, where fourth-generation coffee producer and agronomist Gabriela Baracat Sanchez grows coffee using regenerative agricultural practices certified by Regenagri. Her naturally processed Red Catuaí brings sweetness, body and a delicate nutty character to the blend.

The Nicaraguan component comes from the Paguaga family, whose coffee-growing tradition dates back to the 1930s. Today, the family manages five estates in the Nueva Segovia region, combining generations of experience with careful soil management and a commitment to protecting the surrounding natural environment.

At Santa Lucila, coffees from these estates are carefully processed and selected. Working in collaboration with Dutch importer This Side Up, specific lots are brought together to create distinctive and consistent flavour profiles. One of these selections is Caramelito, a washed Arabica chosen for its sweetness and notes of chocolate, caramel and dried fruit.

We were drawn to this Nicaraguan coffee for both its story and its approachable flavour profile. When we combined it with our Brazilian Arabica, we discovered a particularly harmonious balance between sweetness, body and gentle acidity.

The result is Smooth Sailing: a comforting, well-rounded specialty coffee, created for those who appreciate the quality of a 100% Arabica blend and the pleasure of a truly enjoyable everyday cup.
