Guatemala is one of our core origins and has been for a long time. The coffees are consistently excellent, grown under complex shade and agroforestry systems and come from a supply chain we can trust and build relationships with. All of our Guatemalan coffees are sourced via Primavera, a Guatemalan born green coffee exporter and importer, which simply put, means greater transparency and traceability across the supply chain, from the farm to us. With a dedicated team based in Guatemala City and agronomists within the coffee growing communities they are best placed to truly know and understand not just where to find the best coffees and producers but also to identify challenges and build support. Guatemala is home to some of the most rural and hard-off coffee growing regions in the world, which historically would mean a lack of support, but Primavera is changing that. 

Our relationship with Nicaragua, and more specifically Ana & Martha at Cafetos de Segovia, is our longest standing of all. Over the last 8 years we have developed a beautiful relationship with the two sisters and the extended family, into something that resembles more like friendship than business. We've visited them, and they've visited us, and quite simply Yallah wouldn't be what it is today without their coffees and support over the years. As we've grown as a business the volume and range of coffees we purchase has too, now totalling more than 24,000kg per year across 10 different lots, more than any other origin we source from. It is a relationship we are very proud of and excited to continue and develop in the years to come.

Two years ago we learned of and cupped coffees from Bette Buna, after many years of struggling to find a reliable and trustworthy partner in Ethiopia to work with. Needless to say we'd hit the jackpot with husband and wife duo, Dawit and Hester. We learned of their NGO backgrounds being used in a fresh approach to community-led development in one of Ethiopia's poorest coffee producing areas, Taferi Kela in Sidamo. What is the home to Dawit and his family is also home to a community who pretty much all rely on coffee as their sole source of income. Bette Buna is all about creating opportunities, mentoring communities and building systems which empower people, coffee is simply the tool which drives this work. 

A coffee producing country with so much potential, Mexico produces some of our favourite coffees every year in tough and unpredictable conditions. We are committed to sourcing coffees from progressive exporters, who value producers and work to improve conditions and productions for the long term. Our current decaf coffee is grown by a community of Mexcian women, click here to find out more

Our travels in Peru took us to the most remote areas we’ve ever visited, high up in the foothills of the Andes mountain range, where the forest is dense and coffee exceptional. Our goal is to find the best and most unique coffees and producers Peru has to offer, from sweet and balanced Bourbons to bright and expressive Geshas.

 A country we buy from annually; coffee from these luscious, jungle covered mountains has a unique tea-like quality. Producers in Rwanda have persevered through political turbulence at the turn of the century, and are now one of the most sought after origins in specialty coffee. 

Colombia is home to an abundance of exceptional coffees from talented producers, so the challenge for us was finding a supply chain which was also prioritising regenerative agriculture and supporting communities. We found all this and more in Sudus Cafes, a team and farm based out of Quindio, pioneering a new approach to increasing biodiversity and regenerative systems by planting floral corridors within farms. What started out as a few microlots has progressed into our first ever House espresso from completely regenerative, zero input producers in Genova.
