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.

Luis & Juan Saldarriaga

Since taking over, Juan has focused on experimenting with new varieties and learning how each one flourishes in their unique environment. This Tabi and Castillo lot is a shining example of the dedication and hard work he has invested. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly simple tasting notes—this coffee is complex, layered with sweet red fruit notes and a delicate herbaceousness that we’re all loving in the roastery

Innovative Growing Methods

El Encanto is Luis’ favourite farm of the two owned and run by the family, it is exceptionally well kept and features a variety garden which displays around 60 coffee varieties. One of the primary challenges for Juan and the team is the high temperatures and humidity, which causes difficulties during the drying process. In response to this they have built an impressive 200 square meter shelving system, which can be wheeled outside during dry days and moved inside during wet days. Since this new system the coffees have become much more consistent and the quality has improved drastically.
