ABOUT THE PRODUCERS

Our Brazil component comes from the Cocatrel Cooperative, which was founded in 1961 in Tres Pontas and has grown into the second-largest cooperative in Brazil. It has over 6,000 members with 11 different buying points across the region. All the coffee is electronically tagged and recorded on delivery with a unique QR code, giving full traceability. 

‘Castanhas do Brasil’, which translates as "Nuts of Brazil", is a blend made mainly from one particular area called Carmo De Cachoeira. The coffee is selected for its sweet and creamy hazelnut praline profile by the cupping team in the Cocatrel Direct Lab, who assign it to this profile blend. The coffee must have a clean profile and be scoring 83+ on evaluation.

Our Guatemala component comes from the El Cabro plot on the Finca La Bolsa farm.

Finca La Bolsa was bought by Jorge Vides, a distinguished medical professional, in 1958. Prior to this, the land was not used for coffee production. Jorge won numerous awards for coffee production and for his services to the Huehuetenango region, and the main hospital in the coffee-growing community was named after him. In 2002, La Bolsa competed in the Cup of Excellence competition and placed second, scoring 94.98.

La Bolsa sits between two mountains, which provide a very stable, humid microclimate. Combined with the limestone-rich soils, this gives the coffee a unique profile, with a rich, syrupy body and plenty of malic and citric acidity.

Fast delivery, sustainable packaging and unparalleled taste!

Fast delivery, always freshly-roasted coffee, with the roasting date printed on the packet (although twice I thought it was the expiry date - I keep forgetting that it's the day of the roasting) and sustainable packaging.

I recently purchased the Eccentric Ground Coffee from Magnetic North and absolutely loved it - the taste, the aroma, and the quality all exceeded my expectations. What makes it even more special is knowing this bag came from a roaster right here in Brighouse.

In the North, and especially in Calderdale, we’ve often been limited in choice when it comes to high quality coffee beans. To see a new brand like Magnetic North emerge is not only exciting for coffee fanatics like myself, but also such a positive step for the region, giving us more options to explore and enjoy.

The coffee is fantastic, and my only hope now is that one day I’ll see a Magnetic North coffee shop open in Brighouse.
