Join the journey...
In your first month, receive your first exquisite coffee. This will be sent along with a personalised note from Mr. Tony. Then, at the beginning of each month you will be sent a different coffee to enjoy at leisure.
The coffees will be selected by Tony and David Higgins to complement the changing seasons. Amongst a myriad of wonderful surprises, enjoy some of the world’s most rare and revered coffees, alongside H. R. Higgins staples and a selection of our house blends.
The Year of Coffee is available as a 6 month or 12 month journey and can be provided as beans or ground to your preference. Each month you will receive a 250g bag of coffee. A separate gift card will be sent to you on purchase explaining the nature of the gift to pass to a friend or loved one before the journey begins.*
