La Primavera COLOMBIA

  • Tropical Fruits, Rose, Dark Chocolate

We are 12 years into roasting coffee and still finding and roasting new and exciting varieties of coffee. Last year it was the stunning Marshall variety from Peru, this year it is the Papayo variety from Colombia, with its tropical fruit and boozy profile, brought to us by Ancelmo Chinchilla and his family.

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.

Social Relationships

Young Producer

The Yallah Buying Standards are a set of criteria to enable us to source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and principles.

The future of coffee depends on many things, potentially the most important aspect is a new generation of producers who are willing to take up the mantle of those that came before. We are seeing young people migrate to urban areas in search of a better life, making it imperative to support the involvement and development of young coffee professionals in producing regions as much as possible.

Ancelmo Chinchilla

Ancelmo works the farm alongside his wife, children and relatives, ensuring knowledge and tradition is passed from one generation to the next, securing a future for the farm and his family. La Primavera is situated at 2000 metres above sea level, on steep mountain slopes where the air is cooler and sunlight is limited.

Despite these challenging conditions, the slower maturation of coffee cherries leads to increased concentration of sugars and exceptional complexity in the cup. Ancelmo and his family's dedication and the terroir all come together to produce something unique and special, in this rich and elegant lot.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Huila, Colombia

Colombia is renowned for pushing the boundaries of coffee production and processing, being home to many of the world's best and highest paid producers.
