Leading producer Carlos Durán Matias inherited El Carrizal in Jalapa with his brothers and sisters. One of the oldest farms in the area, it started at 14 hectares but has since grown to 31 hectares and is characterized by its quality varieties such as Typica, Bourbon and Caturra. This lot was processed in the wet mill that is part of Carlos’ farm before then being sundried on patios.

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.

Carlos Durán Matias

In Jalapa, access to fresh water is fairly limited, so being conscious of water use and disposal is vital to maintain the health of the ecosystem. Carlos has a series of filtration ponds that naturally filter, treat and reoxygenate the wastewater from the wet mill.

Environmentally focused producers like Carlos are few and far between, and his dedication to protecting the environment is one of the reasons why Primavera enjoy working with him, and they are currently setting to develop a filtration system like his to roll out at other farms

Buying Standards

Environmental Efforts

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Yallah, and this includes the coffees we purchase too. Supporting the environmental efforts of coffee producers can have huge benefits in the long term,not just for the planet but for the producers themselves, who are most at risk from the effects of climate change and the threat it poses to their crops.
