It was during our trip to Guatemala in 2024 that we fortuitously met the Tinamit co-op at the Primavera dry mill, we fell in love with the producers of the group and their excellent coffees. This year the washed lot returns to us in the Trust range, where our buying is coordinated with our impact program in coffee producing regions.

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.

Tinamit Toliman co-operative

As part of our commitment to 1% For The Planet, we donate 1% of overall revenue to charities and organisations carrying out work in sustainability. Each year we divide the total; half to charities close to home, and half to coffee sourcing regions. In 2024 we chose to donate to the Tinamit Toliman co-operative, with the help of The Chain Collaborative. The co-operative were given the freedom to decide how they’d like to spend their money, on a project of their choosing that would bring the most benefit to the community. It was decided that they would build a fish farm, run by the co-operative, so they could farm fish for members of the co-operative and also sell fish to nearby communities.

This not only helps alleviate the group's food security issues but also creates a secondary renewable revenue stream, reducing their reliance on coffee. We can’t wait to visit the group in 2026 to see their progress and taste the fish!

Tinamit Toliman, Guatemala - Yallah Coffee
Country of Origin

Guatemala

Guatemala is renowned for its exceptional coffee quality. Coffee production and export has always been an important part of Guatemalan economy and culture, with the country being the eighth largest exporter of coffee in the world. Coffees from Guatemala tend to be appreciated for their sweetness and balance in the cup due to its high altitude and volcanic soils.
