Czar St V.30 is a momentous one for us here at North Star HQ because it marks our final ever iteration of our seasonal blend in it's current format. 11 years has seen 30 versions that have showcased the very best coffee each season has had to offer from across the Tropics. This may be the end of Czar St. as you know but fear not, we have something tasty up our sleeves to keep the more adventurous of you satiated. Watch this space! And in the meantime, fill your cup with one final glug of the good stuff!

In honour of such a special occasion, we have decided to return to a fan favourite - a reinvigoration of our Birthday Blend which helped celebrate 10 years of NS. Four coffees from our longest standing partnerships shuffled together to re-deliver our most impactful blend to date. We invite you to journey with us beyond the cup for as second time. Meet the producers behind each brew and realise the impact your choices can have on creating a coffee industry that works for everyone:

Rwanda Cyato Washed
Cyato washing station processes coffee collected by farmers of the Abadatezuka cooperative, situated around the infamous Nyungwe forest. It is well known not only because of its rich fertile soil, but also due to the large population of bees in the area which create a distinct flavour profile during pollination. Since 2021 our customers have helped sponsor 8 hectares of land, so that 20 young Rwandans can start producing coffee. They've planted 20,000 seedlings each and your support has helped to provide organic compost and agronomy training to get them started in coffee. The first crop has just landed!!

El Salvador Chelazos Washed
Since 2017, we have sourced Chelazos from a group of hero producers - Alfonso, Maria, Jose, and Orlando - in Chalatenango, El Salvador. Notably, Maria's farm initiated the first NS* funded project. In partnership with NS* customers, Caravela, and Maria, we established a 3-stage improvement plan for quality, efficiency, and sustainability. Ultimately fostering better income and community empowerment. With every sip of Chelazos, you are contributing to a partnership creating truly positive change, empowering those behind the beans of our beloved brew.

Kenya Mutai Kinyua Natural
We've had the pleasure of visiting Mutai Kinyua. He is the owner of Deman farm, a haven in Meru County where lush mango trees, bananas, and macadamias flourish. Mutai's commitment to regenerative farming and fair wealth distribution is admirable. Through agroforestry, he transformed Deman Estate from chemical-laden to biodiverse. His devoted long-serving staff value his equitable practices. This coffee’s syrupy sweetness delivers jammy notes to our birthday blend.

Brazil Montanari Natural
Marcelo Montanari, our Brazilian coffee producer, stands out for his strong dedication to quality, sustainability, and innovation in coffee production. Working on a sizeable estate, Marcelo actively encourages biodiversity, ensures worker well-being, and upholds eco-friendly farming practices. His unwavering commitment to specialty-grade coffee is apparent through collaborative efforts, experimentation, and the sharing of expert insights. We have been working with Marcelo since 2014, his approach seamlessly integrates with our own and his coffee is a permanent feature on our offer list.

The result is a coffee that is deliciously sweet but with good balance and depth. We find notes of zingy kiwi, sweet citrus green and milk chocolate when served black with hints of tinned fruit and custard in milk. This is a coffee at its best in metal filter methods such as espresso, stove top or french press.
