Coffee starts as a fruit.
Processing is what shapes the flavour.
Washed = clean + balanced
Natural = fruity + bold
Honey = sweeter + fuller
We use a washed process.
The fruit is removed before drying for a cleaner, brighter, more consistent cup.
Processing doesn’t determine quality, but it does shape character.
It’s part of how we keep our blend tasting like Bootlegger, every time. Click the link in bio if you’re interested to learn more about coffee processing.

Highlights from our ‘Meet the Blancs’ tasting experience hosted at Bootlegger Hyde Park, Joburg, and Lintons Corner, Pretoria. We brought together a select group of local creators to experience our new Blanc range.
This experience put the Blancs front and centre. Led by our product development team, creators were taken through tastings and live demos that unpacked the inspiration behind the range, offering a deeper look into how our iced drinks range has evolved.
Comment below where we should host our next Blanc tasting.

Welcome Jamie Riddle.
Our latest Bootlegger ambassador.
South African Olympian and professional triathlete competing at the highest level of endurance sport. Known for his relentless training standard, consistency, and the discipline it takes to perform at the highest level.
Off the course, he’s built a strong and growing community through his content, bringing people into the reality of the work, not just the results. He announced the partnership on his YouTube channel.
Serious about his coffee. Very serious. Barista in the making.
We’ll be working closely with Jamie across a series of activations and events in key locations. We start in Port Elizabeth in just over a month, where he lines up at Ironman South Africa with his sights set on the win. We’ll be there backing him all the way.
Meet and greet details at our newly opened Boardwalk store in Port Elizabeth will be shared soon.
In the words of Jamie himself - “Africa to the world!”
