  • Sweet, Bright, Balanced

Back in 2025 we had the pleasure of meeting David and the rest of the Flores family on their farm, Finca El Morito, high in the mountains of Cajamarca in the town of El Diamante. David has taken over running of the family's farms from his father, Faustino, a second generation coffee farmer, and through his management has transformed their production into some of Peru's finest.

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.

Environmental Efforts

Regenerative Farming

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.

Regenerative farming is a holistic approach to actively improving the ecosystem health of the whole farm. From the depths of the soil to the tips of the trees, and all species of flora and fauna in the middle, regenerative farming prioritises the ecosystem health over coffee production and yield.

David Flores

Initially, the farm began with only two hectares of Caturra and Bourbon varietals, but today it spans 50 hectares, with a focus on sustainability and innovation as it's grown. Much of this is because of the family teamwork, led by David, to improve coffee processing and post harvest techniques, but also invest in higher quality varietals and seek international buyers.

This Bourbon lot is a great example of a coffee grown and processed with the utmost care and skill, presenting all the characteristics we love about Bourbon - it’s sweet, bright and incredibly moreish.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Peru

The mountains of Peru are home to various micro-climates that all lend themselves to growing delicious coffee. Organic growing practices are standard procedure for Peruvian coffee, which is handpicked and carefully sorted for quality.
