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.

Country of origin

Guatemala

Guatemala is renowned for its exceptional coffee quality. Coffee production and export has always been an important part of Guatemalan economy and culture, with the country being the eighth largest exporter of coffee in the world. Coffees from Guatemala tend to be appreciated for their sweetness and balance in the cup due to its high altitude and volcanic soils.

Marvin Carias

Back in February we were lucky enough to visit Marvin’s incredible farm in the region of Jalapa, Guatemala. We were blown away by the quality of the coffee there, but also Marvin’s commitment to sustainable practices. All his waste water from cleaning the sticky, nutrient rich fruit off the coffee beans is filtered through 8 ponds and then recirculated back into his mill using a pump. Marvin’s farm is also home to an impressive worm farm that he has built with the sole purpose of turning the leftover coffee fruit pulp into healthy compost for the young coffee trees.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS

Shade Grown

Marvin Carias first bought a parcel of land in this area in 1990 and has been adding to the farm ever since. Over the years he has improved the quality dramatically - replanting new trees while implementing shade management to protect the soil and coffee trees below it. Of course, we’d already tasted the quality so it was when Marvin started to talk about growing practices, water-cleaning & producing organic fertilser that I knew we were sold.

To learn more on Marvins environmental efforts at Las Brisas, take a read of our latest journal entry about our recent sourcing trip.
The purchase of this coffee marks a huge step towards our sustainable goal, to roast a higher volume of coffee from Agroforestry farms.
