After having the first editions sold out, Senzu Coffee Roasters roasted a new and bigger batch for our collaboration, this El Salvador (La Garza). Maria Helena designed the beautiful label.

A Pele do Lobo/ The Wolf Skin is a series I'm creating at my studio about the fleeces of Portuguese native sheep breeds. It started with a gentle approach to this animal's raw material. On the one hand, Pele do Lobo is a declaration of care and love to the origin, made with a specific technique observing the manufacturing rhythms. On the other hand, it is an artistic concept. This order is a perfect circle where the human context gives value to the material's provenience. This provenience responds by transforming itself into an artwork.

After the first two editions' success, the Costa Rica natural (sold out) and the Ethiopia natural (last few bags still available), Senzu Coffee Roasters roasted a new batch for our collaboration. The third chapter is a spectacular Ehtiópia Guji, washed.

New year, fresh roast. Costa Rica roasted in December quickly went out of stock. We now have a new Ethiopia (Kawo Kamina, natural) roasted in Porto by our friends at Senzu Coffee Roasters.

We have an old friendship with Senzu coffee roasters. It started with a mutual admiration for our work and passions and ended in this very special collaboration. Diogo is a good friend, the man behind Senzu's roaster and one of the heads running ABCoffee, the first speciality coffee school in Porto. He roasted a special edition batch to Ofício, which quickly sold out. It's a Costa Rica (El Perezoso, Natural), perfect for brewing in a Kalita Wave or a V60, two of our favourite methods.

Sérgio Lemos invited me to visit his studio shortly after we started a collaboration with his brand, Darga Crafts. So I pedalled from Matosinhos, where I was living by then, to one of Porto's busiest roads, where he lives. Being there, still trying to recover my breath after an intense ride, I was far from imagining what I would find behind the tall gate. One of the most relaxing places I've been in Porto. It is a small building in the backyard of a bigger family house, half studio, half apartment.
