OUR 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.

Country of origin

Nicaragua

Our long standing direct trade partners in Nicaragua have shown us the range of quality of coffee from here; from House all the way to Explore, there’s something for everyone.

The high mountains bring ideal coffee growing conditions here, but, steep slopes too. The terrain is far from easy. Witnessing the harvest firsthand, it’s easy to be awestruck by the steep slopes and the skill required to navigate them. Pickers carry heavy sacks of cherries up and down these slopes in blazing heat. It's a testament to their hard work that we can enjoy this incredible coffee.

We had a good feeling his coffee would stand out by the healthy-looking cherry and the clean and tidy mill - these things are always a good sign. Lo and behold, there was a gem on the cupping table - a sweet and delicious single variety lot - ‘red catuai’ is well renowned in the region and is known for its exceptional cup character. This one is juicy, with hints of raisin followed by a gorgeous honey sweetness that keeps you wanting more.

Social Relationships

The supply chain - from farm to cup - can be a long and complicated road.

Working directly with farmers is key to forging long term relationships, and we can commit to buying before the harvest has even started.
