The 1% Blend brings together exceptional coffee and the Not Stationary philosophy of using small, familiar moments with more purpose.

Coffee is already something many of us return to consistently. So instead of creating another complicated routine, let the coffee become the cue. Make your coffee. Take the moment. Pause, reset and return to what matters.

That might mean opening your planner. Journaling for a few minutes. Taking a breath between meetings. Sharing a coffee with someone. Or simply giving yourself a moment before moving into what comes next.

There is no perfect ritual. The value is in returning to it.

Tasting notes
Dark chocolate, caramel, cherry, toasted nut, soft spice.

Origin
A three-origin blend of Colombia, Brazil and Guatemala.

Colombia, Manizales, Caldas
Grown by smallholder farmers on plots of two hectares or less, close to the Nevado del Ruiz volcano where the soil is mineral rich. Farmed between 1,300 and 1,800 masl. Castillo and Caturra varieties, washed process. Notes of prunes, dark chocolate and cherry, with a medium body.

Brazil, Cerrado
Grown on small 5 to 10 hectare farms between 600 and 1,300 masl. Mundo Novo variety, naturally processed, sun dried in thin layers on patios, the way around 90 percent of Brazil's Arabica is produced. Classic profile of chocolate, caramel and nuttiness, with low acidity and a full body.

Guatemala, Huehuetenango
Washed Arabica, SHB EP, from Las Amapolas, grown on smallholder to medium sized farms. Caturra, Catuai and Bourbon varieties. The high elevation slows the beans' growth, giving them a dense, hard core. Medium to full body, dark chocolate sweetness, with warm spices of cinnamon and clove.

Roast profile
Every origin is roasted separately and to its own profile, then rested for 24 hours before being hand blended to our ratio.

The 1% Blend was not simply a coffee selected and rebranded. We spent time with the King Carlos team tasting, talking and refining, considering not only the flavour of the coffee but the moments we wanted it to accompany.

King Carlos brought the craft, expertise and quality of exceptional coffee. Not Stationary brought the ritual. Together, we created a blend designed for the moments when you pause, reset and return to what matters.
