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.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Izuba, Burundi

One of our favourite origins here in the roastery. Producers in Burundi, much like other African coffee growing countries, bring their freshly picked coffee to local mills for processing, keeping the quality consistent. A clean, aromatic coffee usually punctuated with rich berry notes.

Smallholder Producers of Izuba

Raw Material Burundi works to create wide-reaching community benefits through and beyond the production and sale of coffee. Last year, almost none of the households around Izuba washing station had health insurance. In Burundi this season, we have focussed on ensuring all families delivering cherries to us receive full health insurance.

By wrapping up the cost of health insurance into the price paid for the coffee all producers who deliver cherry to the washing station have access to health insurance. Something so simple provides a huge benefit to the local community. This initiative was revealed as the most effective and desired thing we could do from a long list of possible activities following interviews with the community.
Social Relationships

Community Led

We aim to support as many community-driven projects via the purchase of coffee as we possibly can, as well as initiating our own community projects in the countries we work with.
