Every Flying Frog coffee is available only while the lot lasts. Once it is gone, it is gone — we celebrate single harvests rather than permanent blends.

An experimental lot from the Shyira washing station in Rwanda: a natural anaerobic fermentation in plastic bags for 72 hours, submerged in water to keep the temperature low, followed by 30 days of slow drying on raised beds.

A collaboration with Forest, a Colombian farm, transferring Colombian cold-water processing to Rwanda — the first time this has been done. Small batch, limited bags.

Process: Natural anaerobic — 72 h submerged in water, then 30 days on raised beds
Roast: Light

Roasted as a light Nordic-style omni roast — a profile built for filter, with a long, gentle caramelisation at a lower finishing temperature. It keeps the origin's acidity, clarity and aromatics intact, and it happily travels to other preparations.

You can also try other brewing methods — the omni roast leaves room to experiment.

Use a precise grinder and adjust to the cup. Each coffee may need a different setting.

Making coffee is an art at every stage. At the final stage, we collaborate with an artist on an original oil painting that subtly shares this coffee’s story. Its print on your bag is a small collectible; a share of every bag returns to the artist’s studio.

Natural anaerobic — Sealed away from oxygen, the cherries ferment slowly and evenly — a controlled way to build layered, wine-like fruit.

Only coffee that passes goes into bags. Batches that fall short are still good coffee — they go to NGOs and social organisations instead of the bin. How we check
