It's been a busy summer 😎

Hi Partner,

This season included many firsts for the Partners Coffee team - from the introduction of our Exceptional Coffee series to being honored at the Good Food Awards. Summer 2026 was one to remember and we can't wait to see what's to come.

Keep reading to dive into the details behind a few of our most notable collaborations, events, and more from Summer 2026!

In May of this year, we first introduced our Exceptional Coffee series. This collection presents rare and limited availability coffees, selected for their quality and distinctive character.

For the box illustrations we worked with Moonsub Shin (@moonsub), who we wanted to specifically acknowledge.

"Partners Coffee is where I got my very first illustration commission - so this place has always meant something to me. Getting to work with them again, first on a mug and now on this package, makes it even more special." — Moonsub

In early June we invited our coffee-loving community to celebrate the launch of Edin Lopez Gesha with our first community sound share. We couldn't have been happier with the music and conversation that filled our Bedford cafe. Attendees all brought their favorite records and enjoyed tastings of our first Exceptional Coffee release.

Right before our team set up for the Summer Fancy Food Show, we were honored to be featured in a ceremony and receive our Good Food Awards medal for the spectacular coffee, Ethiopia - Suke Quto. Suke Quto is one of our most inspiring farm partners, and we’re proud to represent their work.

Our Green Coffee Buyer, Sam, has compiled answers to as many questions as we could think of surrounding this achievement.
