Scottish Hebridean Coffee Beans (227g)

Scottish Hebridean Coffee Beans (227g) — Chosen by Mairi MacInnes, Voice of the Hebrides

Some coffees tell a story. This one sings one.

These Bold & Feisty Scottish Hebridean coffee beans were personally chosen by Mairi MacInnes — one of Scotland's most accomplished Gaelic singers, born and raised in South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Mairi, who teaches Gaelic song at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, wanted a coffee that reflected her roots: bold, full of character, and deeply connected to the wild, pure landscape of the islands.

Roasted and packed in the Scottish Highlands by a small boutique roastery, made with passion — following Mairi's own unique recipe. 100% Arabica whole beans, crafted to complement Scotland's naturally crystal-clear soft water, and bold enough to match the spirit of the Hebrides.

You can find Mairi's music on Spotify, Instagram & YouTube.

The Hebridean Story

The Outer Hebrides is a place of extraordinary natural beauty — rugged coastlines, ancient Gaelic culture, and some of the purest, softest water in the world. Mairi MacInnes grew up immersed in this landscape and its traditions. When she created her recipe, she was looking for something that matched that same boldness and authenticity — a Highland roast that would shine when brewed with Scotland's crystal-clear soft water. A small, passionate boutique roastery in the Scottish Highlands brings her vision to life, roasting and packing every batch to her exact specification with care and craft.
