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.

OUR PACKAGING

Our 250g bags and 1kg bags are LDPE 4 packaging, a type of soft plastic, very common in food packaging. For home consumers LDPE 4 is still not curbside recyclable, but is accepted at local recycling points and dedicated soft plastics deposit points. Find a location near you.

ROASTING ON RENEWABLE ENERGY

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.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Kenya

Kenyan coffee is famous for big, bold brightness and juicy purple fruits, so when the season comes we fill our cups deep and drink as much as we possibly can. Kenya has and still is experiencing its fair share of turbulence, politically and otherwise, yet throughout this coffee quality remains consistent and hopeful.

Smallholder Producers of Gititu

This year we have decided to purchase two lots from Kenya, this is the AA lot, which are the largest screen size of beans available. We’ve also decided to purchase a Peaberry lot from the Gititu washing station, which are sometimes the smallest screen size of beans available. Both are incredibly delicious, but totally different in their size, shape and how they behave in the roaster.

This lot presents with a gorgeous rhubarb pie vibe, jammy, sweet and beautifully balanced.

Social Relationships

Sustainable Sourcing

Importers, Nordic Approach, collaborate with partners engaged in specialty coffee and initiatives aimed at farm sustainability, fair pricing, and quality bonuses for farmers. Their main emphasis lies in fostering long-term relationships with Farmer Cooperative Societies (FCS), ensuring consistent sourcing from the same producers annually.
