About Kiss the Hippo
Kiss the Hippo roasts with a clear preference for brightness and fruit, their range spanning from the juicy stone-fruit warmth of peach, plum, and apricot through to sharper, more electric notes of blackcurrant, gooseberry, and citrus zest. Florals appear throughout — jasmine, elderflower, rosehip — lending many of their coffees a lifted, fragrant quality that distinguishes them from heavier, more chocolate-forward roasters. There is chocolate and caramel in the range, but even these tend to arrive alongside fruit, making Kiss the Hippo a strong choice for those who value clarity and complexity over comfort.
