Sustainability

Our coffee is cultivated through traditional farming practices, with farmers working closely with the land and relying on established knowledge passed through generations. This approach can support sustainability by maintaining small-scale cultivation, limiting unnecessary soil disturbance and working with the natural conditions of the growing environment rather than relying solely on intensive production methods.

We also believe sustainability extends beyond the farm. By working through farming communities and cooperatives, farmers are supported with guidance on harvesting, processing and post-harvest handling while helping preserve the knowledge and livelihoods connected to coffee production.

FAQS

Can I get a sample before placing an order?

Yes. We encourage roasters to sample the coffee first. You can request a sample, roast it to suit your normal evaluation process, cup it and decide whether it fits your programme before discussing an order. The Sample is accompanied by the coffee profile(all basic information)

What information do you provide with your coffee?

We aim to provide the information a roaster needs to properly evaluate a lot, including origin, variety, altitude, processing, harvest information and available physical or quality specifications.

What are your minimum order quantities?

Our minimum order depends on the requirements of the roaster. We are happy to discuss smaller trial quantities before moving towards larger or ongoing orders.

Can smaller roasters buy from you? Can smaller roasters buy from you?

Yes. We understand that not every roaster is looking for a large volume straight away.

A sample or smaller trial order can be a good starting point, with quantities increasing as the coffee becomes part of your programme.

How fresh is your green coffee?

We prioritise recent harvests and plan procurement around expected requirements where possible.

Our aim is to avoid unnecessary storage time and move coffee through the supply chain in a way that protects its condition.

How do you manage defects?

We work with producer communities and cooperatives around harvesting, processing, drying and handling practices, followed by appropriate sorting and preparation of the coffee.

We don't promise that every bean will be completely defect-free. Instead, we focus on careful handling and low-defect lots that can be properly evaluated before purchase.

Do you supply coffee outside the UK?

Our main focus is currently the UK market, but we can discuss requirements from buyers in other markets depending on the order and logistics.

Can you supply larger volumes?

Yes. We support both smaller trial orders and larger programmes.

For larger requirements, we prefer to discuss the expected volume, specifications and delivery schedule in advance so procurement can be planned properly.Yes. We support both smaller trial orders and larger programmes.

If you have a specific requirement or simply want to understand what we currently have available, get in touch. We'd rather have a conversation about what you actually need than send you a generic catalogue.
