LUZ HELENA SALAZAR COLOMBIA

£15.50

This washed Castillo from the wonderful producer, Luz Helena Salazar, is a real treat in more ways than one. The coffee itself is a delicious mix of stone fruits and fresh mandarin, but what is really special about this lot is its journey from Colombia to Falmouth, which was completed aboard the Ide Min, a sail ship owned and operated by Kaap Kargo out of the Netherlands.

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.

Environmental Efforts

Shipped by Sail

Though we have not achieved our goal of shipping more coffee via sail in 2024, we remain committed to doing so. There are challenges that exist in the world of sail shipping that are sometimes too great to overcome and this past year has seen more challenges than normal, but nevertheless we are able to release two coffees that have been shipped by sail.

A crew of 12 aboard the Ide Min sailed these two lots from the port of Santa Marta in northern Colombia to Falmouth harbour here in Cornwall, where they were unloaded and brought straight up to the roastery. The feeling of satisfaction in seeing the coffee land at our home port is unmatched, and that comes from the journey itself and those who made it possible. Shipping by sail is not only about decarbonising our supply chain, it is about so much more. Choosing to ship coffee by sail means supporting people and projects who share our vision for reducing carbon emissions and fostering greater connections in the supply chain.
