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!

Buying Standards

Community Impact

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.

There are three core categories that we believe outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social impact, and environmental and agrological efforts.

Our impact work in coffee producing regions is directly linked with the communities we purchase coffee from. We want to see those communities prosper in all areas of their life, not just coffee production, and for the benefit of all within the community. Founded to honor the legacy of Dawit’s grandparents, Bette Buna carries forward their vision of a house built on coffee, a business rooted in kindness, diversity, and community.

Bette Buna

As with all of our Ethiopian coffees this lot comes from the Bette Buna project, run by husband and wife duo Dawit and Hester, whose primary goal in everything they do is their community. Bette Buna works with local chiefs, community leaders, and smallholder farmers to grow and source its exceptional coffees.

At farms in Taferi Kela Sidamo and Guji Megadu, the team grows seedlings, rewilds coffee forests, and trains farmers in sustainable methods.

Country of Origin

Ethiopia

Ethiopian season is always highly anticipated in the roastery, after a long wait the team are excited for the return of the familiar profiles of stone fruits, florals and their delicate structure.

All our Ethiopian coffees are sourced from Bette Buna, a force for community empowerment among local coffee producers.
