EL RECUERDO NICARAGUA

£11.50

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 Marcos Florian and his family tending to their crop. It’s a special place to be.

THE TASTE OF POSITIVE CHANGE

Carefully crafted and undeniably delicious, the Trust range showcases the best of specialty coffee with an impact.

All the coffees we buy adhere to the Yallah Buying Standards. Trust coffees will, by default, meet this criteria, but they will also come with something extra. Whether it’s shipped over by sailboat with almost zero carbon emissions, grown using agroforestry methods, or supporting social projects in that region. Trust coffees come with a direct impact, and story to tell.

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.

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.

Social Relationships

Family Run Farm

Our relationship with Marcos is one of our proudest. He owns seven hectares, split between his six children. They live and work alongside him, coffee their primary income. Back in 2021, his coffee was blended with lower quality regional coffees. He wasn't receiving the quality premiums he deserved.

This is our third year buying his coffee. Each year, we've worked to increase its value. This year, we bought everything he had: 20 bags of washed coffee for our Trust range, and two bags of naturally processed—his first ever. We promised to buy it no matter the outcome, guaranteeing his investment wouldn't be wasted. Seeing Marcos processing this coffee was emotional. To have such a direct, positive impact is humbling.
