Trust NICARAGUA

£14.00

High in the Nicaraguan mountains, near the Honduran border, you'll find Finca El Recuerdo. It's a hidden gem, with lush jungle and loud birdsong that fills the air. Here, you’ll find Don Marcos and his family tending to their crop. It’s a special place to be.

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!

OUR PACKAGING

Our 250g bags are now fully kurbside recyclable, paper packaging. All online orders will be shipped in our plastic free bags, you can check out the reasons why we made the change here. Our 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.

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.

Long Term Relationships

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.

There are three core categories that we believe outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social impact, and environmental and agrological efforts.

Working long-term with producers is one of the key indicators of success and one of our key buying aims as we grow. When we find good coffee from good people, we want to buy it year on year. It’s a win for everyone involved; providing financial security to the seller while allowing us to showcase the same wonderful coffees year after year. We aim to visit the producers regularly to walk the farms, visit the mills, and focus on our common goal: high quality, delicious coffee.

Marcos Florian

Marcos Florian and his six children work this land together. Coffee is their main crop and primary source of income. They take special care with every step; growing, picking, processing. It all leads to a coffee that's balanced and sweet. We love it. Back in 2021, Marcos wasn't getting a premium bonus because coffee was blended in with lower-grade coffees from the area. He wasn't getting the recognition or return he deserved. We asked Marcos to separate a small portion of his lot with the promise to buy it no matter the quality - it turned out to be delicious, so here we are buying more and more.

This is the third year we've bought his coffee and the second time taking the entire harvest. No more blending. The financial return to Marcos and his family has increased and we’re working together to increase the variety of coffees available. This is the washed lot, but we also have a natural lot available too. These are the partnerships we're most proud of.


Country of Origin

Nicaragua

Nicaraguan season for us is always an exciting one, as we see the return of coffees from producers with whom we have a longstanding relationship. Our buying practices in Nicaragua have allowed producers to receive higher prices for their coffees and encouraged experimentation of different processes, exciting developments for everyone in the supply chain.
