Our Rarities.

At WatchHouse, we believe coffee is more than just a daily ritual. This belief drives us to continuously explore and innovate within the world of speciality coffee. Rarities embodies this spirit of discovery, bringing you some of the world’s most exceptional and rare coffees. These aren’t just any coffees—they are unique, limited-edition offerings that represent the pinnacle of coffee excellence.
Why we created Rarities.
The Rarities collection is our way of sharing something truly extraordinary with our community. Each coffee in this collection is the result of years of dedication from farmers who push the boundaries of what’s possible, and from our own Coffee Quality Team, who meticulously roast and refine each batch to perfection. We've travelled the globe to discover these rare beans, and our team has spent countless hours in our Roastery’s Coffee Lab, fine-tuning each roast to bring out the most exquisite flavours.
These coffees are more than just a product; they are a celebration of the craftsmanship and passion that goes into every cup. When you enjoy a coffee from our Rarities collection, you’re not just drinking coffee—you’re experiencing the pinnacle of what speciality coffee can be.
Available in all our Houses: the Rarities experience.
Initially exclusive to our Hanover House, our Rarities have, since November 2023, been available across all our Houses in the UK and the US. We believe that exceptional coffee deserves an exceptional presentation, and that’s why Rarities are exclusively offered as pour-over experiences in our Houses. The pour-over method allows the complex flavours and aromas of these rare coffees to truly shine, providing an unparalleled tasting experience.
Our Rarities menu is a curated selection of some of the world’s rarest coffees, carefully chosen to offer something truly unique for every coffee enthusiast. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your journey into the world of speciality coffee, our baristas are here to guide you through the tasting, helping you appreciate the subtle notes and distinctive characteristics of each brew. It’s an invitation to slow down, savour, and immerse yourself in the finest that coffee has to offer.
From our House to your Home: Rarities online.
For those who can’t visit one of our Houses, we’re excited to announce that our Rarities collection is also available online, with new releases periodically throughout the year. This means that wherever you are, you can still access some of the world’s most exclusive coffees. Our online offering allows you to explore these exceptional beans at your own pace, bringing the WatchHouse experience into your home.
Each coffee in our Rarities collection is presented in carefully measured 20g whole bean doses, sealed for optimal preservation. We recommend freezing these doses immediately, ensuring that every brew is as fresh as possible. This approach not only preserves the quality of the coffee but also allows you to build your own rare archive—a collection of truly unique coffees that you can enjoy over time.
The future of coffee at WatchHouse.
At WatchHouse, we see Rarities as more than just a collection; it’s a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee. Whether you visit us in-house or explore our Rarities online, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary sensory journey. These coffees are a rare opportunity to savour the very best that the world of coffee has to offer.
