Los Arcos GUATEMALA

  • White Peach, Honey, Elegant

Osmin’s coffee was a favourite among the roastery team last year, it had that rare quality in a washed coffee which made it sparkle in the cup. Naturally we are ecstatic to see its return, this year with a more elegant profile, but still that familiar sparkle we have come to love so much.

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.

Osmin Garcia

We first met Osmin on our trip to Guatemala in February 2024, we walked the beautiful farm and talked about coffee and orchids, of which there are many dotted about.

Viewing Los Arcos from across the valley is a sight to behold and could easily be mistaken for a forest, with Gravilea trees swaying in the breeze, their fern-like leaves providing dappled shade to the coffee below. These silky oak trees help to retain moisture in the soil and their shade cover keeps the coffee cool, ensuring a long maturation and better tasting 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.
