4 Twenty is back, and it’s bringing something new to the table. This legacy roast gets a fresh origin from Zambia’s Kateshi Estate, one of the country’s oldest and most impactful farms. Grown at 1300 MASL, this washed lot blends CAT-129, F6, Castillo, and trial varietals into a cup that’s rich, clean, and quietly bold.
Flavor-wise, it’s all about Mr. Christie chocolate wafers, black cherry compote, and a splash of kirsch – layered, smooth, and just a little indulgent.
This coffee is everything but baked ;) The sounds you’ll see and the colours you’ll hear are simply coming from a perfect roast, brought to life by a farm that’s as committed to its people and land as it is to quality. 4 Twenty is a return to form, with a fresh twist.
