Our Autumn Firecracker is back for a second year in an explosion of fruity funkiness 🚀🔥🍁 This year’s offering is an anaerobic natural from Ugandan producer Norman Mukuru who is gaining a solid reputation for producing high quality naturals with a diverse range of cup profiles. His Imbalu coffee is famous for its big, boozy, fruity notes and is the perfect fit for our Autumn Firecracker. Available now in bags and reusable tins. by @glenlyoncoffee
Our Impact Report 25/26 is here. Read more about how we have strived to build a better business over the past 12 months and our commitment to the future. As always we couldn’t have done it without our incredible team, our amazing wholesale family and the best customers ever. One of our proudest achievements has being able to build a purpose led business that provides meaningful and secure employment in our rural part of the Scottish Highlands. Thank you for supporting our journey 🙏 Link in bio and stories! by @glenlyoncoffee
It’s crazy to think we moved our roastery across the yard to this amazing space in a former gym five years ago now. This is our third roastery location (we set up the original at the top of Glenlyon back in 2011 - see pic 2 👉) and it’s been an amazing place that’s allowed our business to grow over the years. We need to carry out some small renovations in order for make things flow a little more smoothly inside so we will only be serving take out coffees and cakes next week and of course will have lots of freshly roasted beans for sale too. Thanks for bearing with us while we make the improvements. All being well we’ll reopen the inside with bells on come November 11th. See you soon! #coffeeroastery #roasterycafe #aberfeldy #scotland #scottishhighlands #autumn #autumnvibes🍁 by @glenlyoncoffee

Autumn light in Perthshire is hitting all the right notes at the moment. Loch Tay this afternoon , so still and golden 🧡 by @glenlyoncoffee
Only a couple of weeks left of this beauty on our shelves. Our Autumn Firecracker is from producer Norman Mukuru who set up @tcy_coffeeyard in the foothills of Uganda’s Mount Elgon as a centre for producing high quality naturals with a diverse range of cup profiles. He works closely with @the_coffee_gardens raising the quality and profile of coffee in Eastern Uganda. Norman’s Imbalu coffee is renowned for its big, boozy, fruity notes and this anaerobic natural lot is the perfect fit for Autumn. In the cup we get delicious tropical fruit notes, dark chocolate and pineapple. Perfect for stormy skies and dark Highland mornings. Photographed here at Loch Ossian, Rannoch. by @glenlyoncoffee
Heartfelt thanks to our brand ambassador Anna Danby for inviting us along on an unforgettable three day walking retreat with @wildrootsguiding in Rannoch last week. The weather gods were most definitely on our side and the Autumn colours and light around Loch Ossian hit new levels of perfection! As well as moments of contemplation, poetry reading, wild swimming and crafting we also summited Beinn na Lap to see in the dawn with coffee and porridge and walked up and explored around Cairn Leum Ulleim and Beinn a Bhric. by @glenlyoncoffee
Such an incredible day spent with the Tzotzil community of Santiago El Pinar. Huge thanks to Ofelia, Juana, Faustina and Pascuala for showing us round the farm. It was also fascinating to hear more about the producers’ nursery, their composting and even see some weaving in action. Cupping together was a very special moment and I’m glad that the fudge from Scotland went down so well! Once again heartfelt thanks to @beanvoyagecoffee and @falconspecialty for making this unforgettable day happen. So excited for the @womenpoweredcoffeesummit coming up! by @glenlyoncoffee
Loving being in Chiapas with so many very cool women. Here with @beanvoyagecoffee and @falconspecialty for the @womenpoweredcoffeesummit starting in a couple of days in San Cristobal de las Casas and earlier in Jaltenango visiting producers with some incredible women cooperatives. Follow along in our stories for more women powered Mexican coffee adventures 🇲🇽 by @glenlyoncoffee

Norman Mukuru set up The Coffee Yard in the foothills of Uganda’s Mount Elgon as a centre for producing high quality naturals with a diverse range of cup profiles. He works closely with @the_coffee_gardens raising the quality and profile of coffee in Eastern Uganda.
