The Tea
Taking its name from the street of our shop in Mayfair, Duke Street Blend is one of our best sellers.
A favourite of Mr Tony’s sister Miss Audrey, this blend is wonderfully versatile and can be enjoyed at any time of day, whether you’re looking for a strong, brisk cup to wake up with or something full flavoured to complement a sweet treat of an afternoon.
We blend Assam and Ceylon teas for an invigorating cup. Ceylon provides bright, refreshing notes while the Assam gives a strong and malty aftertaste. This produces a deep colour in the cup and a vibrant flavour that fills the mouth.
Duke Street is a perfectly balanced blend of Broken Orange Pekoe leaves. Due their smaller size, these leaves allow the water to infuse very quickly.

From Honduran Highlands to Your Cup
In Marcala, Honduras, coffee is not just grown — it’s lived. What began with sixty-nine farmers determined to protect their land has grown into COMSA, a cooperative of more than 1,200 members whose work reaches from the mountainside to the classroom. Their coffee carries with it not only the flavour of the highlands, but the promise of a stronger, more hopeful community.
How Roast Level Shapes the Character of Coffee
The journey from green bean to finished coffee is shaped by countless decisions, but none more influential than roast level. This single factor determines whether a coffee is lively and bright, smooth and balanced, or bold and intense. At H.R.Higgins, we roast with purpose, tailoring each profile to bring out the finest qualities in the bean. Here’s how each roast style creates its own distinct experience in the cup.
