The Adventurous One
The Fields is known as the adventurous coffee in our range and a key part of our forward-thinking desire for quality and innovation. This coffee represents our standing as one of the pioneers in the London coffee scene with its title a nod to our London Fields neighbourhood.

The adventurous badge offers us the chance to explore alternative approaches to processing, sustainability and experiment with some of our closest coffee growing partners. All of which results in unique flavours from some of our favourite producers around the world.

Region: Marcala, La Paz
Variety: Catuai, Icatu & Bourbon

The Story
Finca La Innovación is the project of third-generation farmer Mauricio Peñalba and returns as The Fields for the second year running. As implied by the naming of the farm, Mauricio is determined to improve production, biodiversity and processing standards. Growing fruit and pine trees amongst the coffee has created a unique micro-climate, home to native birds and also generating useful organic matter to be repurposed as fertiliser.

Having worked with the COMSA (Café Orgánico Marcala) cooperative team to develop his organic production, Señor Peñalba has seen the quality and consistency of his coffee dramatically improve. Seeking to differentiate his small production further he is now experimenting with natural processing, saving water and offering intensely fruit-forward coffees. Despite the many challenges of 2020 this has been his most successful harvest yet, yielding a larger crop of impeccable quality. Rich, boozy and tropical tasting notes set this apart as a decadent expression of natural processed coffee.

The Fields

We are an independent company of coffee enthusiasts, roasting espresso blends and a range of single origin beans. We supply our small flagship café on Hackney’s Broadway Market, our own stall on market day, as well as a growing list of establishments who have chosen to work with us. Established in 2005, our cafe is considered one of the pioneering venues for London’s now-famous coffee revolution.
