This year’s Pride Edition coffee comes with a limited-edition label by the brilliant Wednesday Holmes (they/them) - a UK-based non-binary artist, illustrator, writer, and community advocate. Their bold, colourful work celebrates queer joy and self-expression in a way that feels both deeply personal and widely uplifting.

You might’ve seen their art in places like Gucci campaigns, Google, Disney, or the V&A - but what really stands out is how they use their work to champion LGBTQIA+ voices and mental health awareness. Their style brings a burst of energy and warmth to everything they do, including this special release.

The coffee itself is a vibrant single-origin from Brazil - a country known not only for its rich coffee heritage, but also for its powerful Pride celebrations and resilient LGBTQ+ community. From the streets of São Paulo, home to one of the largest Pride parades in the world, to grassroots movements fighting for equality across the country, Brazil continues to be a place of both vibrant culture and deep resistance.

We’re once again partnering with akt, a UK charity that supports LGBTQ+ young people who are homeless or living in unsafe environments. For every bag sold, 50p goes directly to akt - helping to provide safe housing, emotional support, and a path forward for young people who need it most.

This is our second year supporting akt, and we’re proud to continue standing with them. With 24% of young homeless people identifying as LGBTQ+, and many having been forced out after coming out, this work is more urgent than ever.

This coffee? It’s as bold and vibrant as the community it celebrates. We hope you love it.

We’ve been sourcing coffee from Fazenda Inglaterra in Brazil for over a decade, and it’s a relationship we deeply value. The farm is owned by Stephen Hurst, a long-time friend of Ozone and founder of Mercanta, a respected green coffee sourcing company.

Located near Poços de Caldas in Minas Gerais, the farm sits at 950–1,300 metres above sea level on the edge of an ancient volcanic caldera. Its rich soils and high elevation make it ideal for producing vibrant, characterful coffees. Half of the land remains untouched Mata Atlântica forest, reflecting Stephen’s commitment to conservation and biodiversity.

When Stephen took over the farm, it had been abandoned. With the help of local friends, he brought it back to life—reviving old trees, planting new ones, and building a farm rooted in both regeneration and quality. His hands-on approach and long-term vision have shaped Inglaterra into a model of sustainable coffee farming.

A classic Brazilian coffee, this is full of sultanas, alongside dates and a dusting of sugary sweetness. Hazelnut and biscuit notes in the background add depth and linger onto the aftertaste.

Roasting Information
Medium to medium-dark: keep the pace of the roast middle of the road, maybe a fraction on the slower side. Then you're looking for end of the gap to finish the roast, don't push it too far.
