  • Granny's fruit cake

Decaffeinated at Descamex using pure water from the Pico de Orizaba, this is an exceptional Mexican coffee, just without the caffeine.

ORGANIC & AGROFORESTRY GROWN

MW Xunaan Decaf was grown using organic farming practices and is FREE from agrochemicals.

The producers grow their coffee under the agroforestry system known as ‘mountain rustic’, where coffee trees grow beneath multiple layers of shade. Coffee is also cultivated alongside crops such as macadamia, banana, orange, and avocado which are shared around the community.

BUYING STANDARDS

It’s really important for us to work with trusted partners in our supply chain who can provide us with honesty and traceability. We have created a set of guidelines to help us source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and beliefs. There are three core categories that we think outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social relationship, and environmental efforts.

CARBON IMPACT

Our Roaster:
We’ve recently switched to a new electric Typhoon roaster which allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We selected it for its capacity, efficiency, and to maintain the same high-quality roasting. This transition also marks a step toward our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral, with a commitment to using 100% renewable electricity.

Our Packaging:
Our 250g bags are paper based and can be recycled with kerbside recycling or composted in your garden. We recommend storing your coffee in an airtight container like this one. Our 1kg bags are 70% wastemade (LDPE4) and recyclable with soft plastic at the supermarket. Please don't put them in your curbside recycling. The planet thanks you!

ROASTING ON RENEWABLES

We’ve recently switched to a new electric Typhoon roaster which allows us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. We selected it for its capacity, efficiency, and to maintain the same high-quality roasting. This transition also marks a step toward our long-term goal of becoming carbon neutral, with a commitment to using 100% renewable electricity. Though the installation required a significant investment in new power infrastructure, the move reinforces our dedication to sustainability and strengthens our promise to customers that we deliver on our environmental commitments.

Buying Standards

Agroforestry

The Yallah Buying Standards are a set of criteria to enable us to source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and principles.

Agroforestry is a way of growing coffee alongside other trees and plants, either by planting coffee in established forests or purposefully planting other cash crops to grow alongside. There are very real impacts of climate change being experienced by coffee producers around the world, and we are hearing and seeing more and more people moving to forest-based growing systems and organic practices as a way to mitigate the effects. It is inspiring to see and a pleasure to have one of these lots as our house decaf coffee.

Cafe Capitan Luis Vidal Co-operative

Cafe Capitan Luis Vidal Co-operative

This lot is made up of 12 female producers from 5 communities in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, all of whom grow coffee under organic farming practices within an agroforestry system called ‘mountain rustic’. This style of agroforestry is as true to nature as it gets, with multiple layers of native shade trees building a canopy over the coffee, and crops are cultivated at the ground level. The foods are distributed among the growing families, contributing to their food sovereignty, with the mountain rustic system increasing shade cover, biodiversity and mitigating the already felt effects of climate change.
