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.

OUR PACKAGING

Our 250g bags and 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 RENEWABLE ENERGY

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.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Nicaragua

Nicaraguan season for us is always an exciting one, as we see the return of coffees from Martha and the team at Cafetos de Segovia, with whom we have a longstanding relationship. Our buying practices in Nicaragua have allowed producers to receive higher prices for their coffees and encouraged experimentation of different processes, exciting developments for everyone in the supply chain.

Marcos Florian

Marcos Florian and his six children work this land together. Coffee is their main crop and primary source of income. They take special care with every step; growing, picking, processing. It all leads to a coffee that's balanced and sweet. We love it. Back in 2021, Marcos wasn't getting a premium bonus because coffee was blended in with lower-grade coffees from the area. He wasn't getting the recognition or return he deserved. We asked Marcos to separate a small portion of his lot with the promise to buy it no matter the quality - it turned out to be delicious, so here we are buying more and more.
Long Term Partnerships

Relationship Coffee

This is the fourth year we've bought his coffee and the second time taking the entire harvest. No more blending. The financial return to Marcos and his family has increased and we’re working together to increase the variety of coffees available. This is the washed lot, but we also have a natural lot available too. These are the partnerships we're most proud of.
