An ancient route of commerce, knowledge and cultural expansion envisaged by an honourable Chinese emperor from the Han dynasty that spanned from the ancient city of Hangzhou to Constantinople in the north and Cairo to the south. The silk road played a significant role in the rise of ancient empires and civilisations, through commercial partnerships and technology sharing, and was the catalyst for the trade in coffee as a commodity, spreading from Ethiopia to the Arabian peninsula and eventually to Europe and Asia.

A medium bodied coffee blend that offers wonderful layered dimensions as it continues to develop in waves of gentle revelation from aroma through to the finish.
