About Glenlyon Coffee Roasters | Flor Penna | Colombia
They started their journey back in 2011 at the top of one of the most beautiful glens in the Scottish Highlands. Armed with a 5 kg Roaster in a bothy (small hut or cottage) they sold their speciality coffee at local farmers markets. Their biggest challenge in the early days was getting the green beans delivered on a single track road. In 2014 the roastery moved to Aberfeldy where they have been ever since. Now roasting on a 12kg Probat the business is thriving supplying the people of Scotland with delicious freshly roasted speciality coffee. One of the things that stood out for me with Glenlyon, especially on their Instagram account was the amount of greenery. Although their location is, of course, one of the most picturesque places in the UK, they also post many images of their other projects. Glenlyon are committed to zero waste and making their impact on the planet a positive one. Every year their team plants trees in the Highlands to offset their carbon footprint. All of their speciality coffees are 100% traceable and ethically sourced.

What To Expect
Like with most coffees the exciting part is once the coffee has slightly cooled and right on queue the Flor Penna floods your palette with vibrant juicy grape and apple notes that are layered with a mild acidity and an enjoyably sweet aftertaste.
