Lady Fluffykins, the Yule Cat

A Christmas legend with a taste for the finer things.

Art by Robb Mirsky

Meet Lady Fluffykins, our delightfully mischievous Red Bourbon from Apaneca-Ilamatepec, El Salvador. She’s smooth, sweet and beautifully balanced, with rich cocoa, golden sugarcane sweetness, a zesty twist of lime and delicate floral notes. Elegant? Absolutely. A little mysterious? Naturally. The sort of house sized cat who would judge your coffee-making technique then smack your mug off the table? Almost certainly.

But don’t let that fluffy name fool you. Lady Fluffykins takes her inspiration from Jólakötturinn, the legendary Yule Cat of Icelandic folklore.

According to Icelandic tradition, this enormous, house-sized, fearsome feline prowls the winter landscape at Christmas, hunting down anyone who hasn’t received new clothes for the festive season. Yes, really. (Hence those naked butted folks, thanks Robb) Forget an awkward family dinner, this cat has much bigger consequences in mind. The legend is traditionally associated with finishing the season’s wool work in time for Christmas, and was famously immortalised in a poem by Icelandic writer Jóhannes úr Kötlum in 1932.

Enter Lady Fluffykins. She's different kind of Yule Cat, on the prowl for anyone caught without good coffee this holiday season. Luckily, this delicious red bourbon coffee might just keep you off her dinner menu. 

What’s in the cup?

Expect a comforting richness of cocoa, the gentle sweetness of sugarcane, a bright splash of lime and subtle floral notes that keep everything wonderfully lively. The washed process brings clarity and balance to the cup, letting each flavour shine without stepping on anyone’s paws. 

A little about her origins

  • Origin: Apaneca-Ilamatepec, El Salvador

  • Producer: Eduardo Salaverría

  • Varietal: Red Bourbon

  • Process: Washed

  • Altitude: 1,300 metres above sea level

The result is a clean, sweet and balanced coffee with enough character to charm even the most discerning feline.

So pour yourself a cup, settle in for the winter and keep Lady Fluffykins close. After all, in Icelandic folklore, new clothes might save you from the Yule Cat. Around here, we think a really good coffee is an excellent place to start.

Really Cool Shit You Should Read About
  • Behind Lady Fluffykins, the Yule Cat, is a family whose story is deeply rooted in the coffee-growing highlands of El Salvador.

    Hope & Co. is a multi-generational coffee-producing family led by the Salaverría Riedel family in the Apaneca–Ilamatepec region. Here, coffee is more than a crop. It’s a craft shaped by generations of experience, a close relationship with the land, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

    Across five farms, Finca La Joya, Finca San Martín, Finca Zapato de Mico, Finca Santa Rosa, and Finca Las Lomas, Hope & Co. cultivates strictly high-grown coffees, hand-harvested at peak ripeness and processed with meticulous attention to detail. Every step is guided by a respect for the coffee, from the care taken in the fields to the character that ultimately finds its way into your cup.

    That care extends beyond the harvest. Hope & Co. upholds social and environmental practices that reflect a commitment to the land, the people who work it, and the future of coffee production.

    The result is coffee with a sense of place, thoughtfully grown, carefully processed, and full of character.

    Good coffee starts at the source. And this is a source worth knowing.
