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.

Eduardo Ferreira de Sousa

Eduardo’s philosophy is a rarity in the context of Brazilian coffee producers; amongst a vast area of monocrop coffee farms, Fazenda Pedra Preta is a veritable oasis of regenerative farming. It is not just about producing great coffee, it is about doing so whilst having the best possible impact on the environment. By taking a holistic approach to the soil, water and biodiversity, the farm as a whole can thrive and bring about balance between agricultural output and existing as a complete and healthy ecosystem.

We will be visiting Eduardo and the team this summer for the first time, spending a few days on the farm during peak harvest, exploring and observing what it takes to operate and run an agroforestry farm in Brazil.

Environmental Efforts

Agroforestry

Agroforestry is a way of growing coffee alongside other trees and plants, either by planting coffee in established forests or purposefully planting other cash crops to grow alongside. This can be a great tool to combat climate change in coffee growing countries, as well as maximising profits for producers.
This farm is currently being transformed in the best way possible by Eduardo; from an average, monoculture coffee farm that churns out high volumes of beans, to a lush, biodiverse haven that is low intervention and sustainable in the true form of the word.

It’s no easy feat. Eduardo has been meticulously
planning and overseeing this incredible change since 2021 and there is a long way to go.
He’s planted many species around the coffee trees; Guapuruvu, with it’s long root system, provides moisture deep in the soil, whilst Inga, a type of legume, attracts wasps that protect the coffee cherries from tiny borer beetles. We can’t wait to see how this farm evolves over the years, and we hope Eduardo goes on to inspire many other Brazilian farmers.
