BLUE TURACO COFFEE’s Post

Let us take you back to Wycliffe's childhood.... It's at the heart of Blue Turaco coffee. Let's go! 💙

Ask people for help! We enjoyed listening to Bay Burdett, Simas Jarasunas, Noor Ali and our very own Wycliffe Sande talk about working with supermarkets as a small brand at the Bread & Jam festival yesterday. We sat on the front row - unashamed groupies. The overriding lesson of the day: Ask for help! People are more willing than you expect. Help can be: - an introduction - an ear - ⁠sharing some experience - ⁠sharing information - ⁠or feedback - ⁠or advice - ⁠a like or a share of a post - ⁠buying our coffee (ok, we added that one) We all feel good when we can helps. Ask for it. Give it. Enjoy it. Happy sunny Thursday evening ☀️ Let’s go! 💙 But seriously, if you did want to buy some coffee, you can get 15% of your first order - link in comments >>> #community #robusta #specialtycoffee #startup

Do you live up to your name? It's not that often that a name perfectly describes its subject's character. Do you know whose name perfectly describes its character? ROBUSTA's It's... well... ROBUST. Let us tell you more: ☕ It has body 💪 It's hardy and adaptable to climate conditions ⚡ It holds nearly twice the natural caffeine Arabica 🏔 It grows fast and at all altitudes; crazy high as well as low 🐛 Its natural caffeine also makes it naturally more resilient to pests It lives up to its name. What else lives up to its name? * You may not have tried 100% Specialty Robusta before. Most coffees are arabica based. Some are blended with Robusta. If you'd like to try it you can sign up (link in comments) and there's an introductory discount for you. 💙 Let's go!

That's what we thought! We came across the Rory Wynn's work at the London Coffee Festival and thought "we think we might get on". 💪 STRONG COFFEE That's what we do! 💙 Blue Turaco naturally contains nearly twice the caffeine of most coffees. ☕ It's because we use pure Robusta beans, which naturally contain more caffeine than Arabica ones. ☀ A very efficient way to get your morning kick! 🤓 A little Friday Trivia for you. As well as keeping us alert, the caffeine in coffee cherries help protect them from pests too. Clever. Happy Friday from the Blue Turaco Team. ..... 🔔 For 15% off your first order - sign up via the link in the comments.

📣 WAKEY WAKEY - we think you might be sleeping on something * 40% of the world's coffee is Robusta. But no-one knows it. People have heard of its cousin, Arabica - most specialty coffees are Arabica-based so you see it more on coffee packaging, Robusta, on the other hand, has been invisible - grown to scale and low quality and hidden away in blends to give body. No longer! Here's why waking up to Robusta feels GOOD: 💪 It's STRONG Naturally contains 2x the caffeine of arabica - coffee with a kick. 🌍 It's CLIMATE RESILIENT Grows faster, takes up less land and it's a hardier crop. ☕ It's SMOOTH High-quality Robusta tastes remarkably, deliciously smooth.
