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 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

Mexico

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.

Communities of Frailesca

Communities of Frailesca

The communities whose lots combine to build this lot exist in the favourable microclimates of the El Triunfo Biosphere, a protected area of diverse flora and fauna, famous for its cloud forest. The coffee farms are situated between 1200-1800 metres above sea level, all adopting a polyculture system of cultivation, growing various food and shade crops among the coffee trees, which offer substantial benefits to the environment, as well as the communities.

As beautiful as the landscape may be it is not without its difficulties; the remoteness of the region means roads are difficult to transport coffee, sometimes leading to producers needing to repair them themselves. A lack of local coffee pickers is an increasing problem, forcing the communities to rely on migrant workers moving through Mexico from Guatemala to pick the coffee, before moving onto to more permanent work in the USA.

Environmental Efforts

Agroforestry & Intercropping

Agroforestry is a way of growing coffee alongside other trees and plants, either by planting coffee in established forests or purposefully planting other cash crops to grow alongside. This can be a great tool to combat climate change in coffee growing countries, as well as maximising profits for producers.
