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.

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.

Environmental Efforts

Regenerative Farming

Regenerative farming is a holistic approach to actively improving the ecosystem health of the whole farm. From the depths of the soil to the tips of the trees, and all species of flora and fauna in the middle, regenerative farming prioritises the ecosystem health over coffee production and yield.

Of the 350 hectares on the farm, 70 are natural wild forests, completely untouched. Adolfo has also planted a further 24 hectares of forest over the last 15 years, created wildlife corridors for the many fauna found in the region. Looking out from the viewpoint at the top of the farm across the sea of green, it's hard to spot where the coffee ends and the forest begins.

Adolfo Ferreira

We had the immense pleasure of visiting Pico Mirante last year, which has been under the meticulous management and ownership of Adolfo for the last 40 years.

It is one the most beautiful farms we've ever seen, set among the mountains in the south of Minas Gerais. It was a real honour to be guided around the farm and patios by the man himself, and a privilege to have his coffee in our house range this year.

Country of origin

Brazil

The largest coffee producing country in the world is not always considered for progressive growing practices or complex flavour profiles, but we make this our mission. We look to smaller producers who prioritise sustainable agriculture for all our Brazilian lots, who by no coincidence always have the best tasting coffees on the table.
