Calendar with Friends is a monthly coffee box and podcast, curated by some of our favourite and most influential roasters from around the world.

Every month, we'll send out two coffees, one of which will be from our featured roaster. This is available as a one time purchase or rolling subscription. Please note, this is only available as whole bean.

Alongside the box, we'll be releasing a monthly podcast where we discuss all kinds of topics, from sourcing and roasting, to running a business and everything in between.

Wilman Mayo has been working in coffee production from a young age, following in his father's footsteps. When he could afford to, he bought his own farm Finca Los Romerillos which spans 100 hectares. Only a quarter of the land is planted with coffee and the remainder is left as a nature reserve, where active reforestation projects have been undertaken to help protect biodiversity. It's a beautiful farm and the results are reflected in the coffee! Expect notes of lychee, candied pineapple and tamarind with a sherbet-like effervescence.
