Our Packaging

We're super proud of our packaging. It's been a long road and one that will no doubt continue - right now we think we're using the best materials available, leaving the smallest footprint and making things easy for the consumer. 

At the moment we're using different manufacturers and different materials for our 250g. Here's the how, why and what we recommend you do with them!

250g Pouches

It's not an exaggeration to say we're pioneering the use of the ‘earth pouch’ for packing coffee. At this moment in time, we are the only coffee roasters in the world to use this material. 

These bags are 100% plastic free and can be recycled with your household paper. Making recycling easy for everyone, no matter your location is the best case scenario. Paper is the most commonly recycled material - with over 70% being recycled, here in the UK.  

Freshness

They have an oxygen & moisture barrier, but it's never going to be as airtight as foil or plastic. We think it's a price worth paying because, for the sake of keeping coffee fresh for months on end, we can pretty much guarantee the bags get recycled. 

We're advising taste best dates of 4 weeks, which should be long enough for most people to drink a bag of coffee. Especially when we ship coffee so fresh out the roaster. 

The extend the life and get the best flavour we highly recommend storing our coffee in an airtight container - either reuse something you have or try one like this. 

1kg bags

Our larger bags are now made of LDPE packaging. This decision has not come lightly, after receiving a lot of feedback from our customers who shared concerns over the bags durability and coffee quality. The new bags provide the best possible oxygen barrier to the coffee and are resealable, where our previous bags were not. Customers can be confident that the coffee sitting on their shelves will not degrade so quickly.

Why not use the same paper material as your 250g bags?

Currently, Sirane (used for 250g bags) are not producing a 1kg bag that can cope with the demands wholesale life. We will continue to monitor both the materials available to us and the recycling landscape in Cornwall and the UK and adjust our approach to find the best solution possible.
