The smell of coffee in the morning, is there something even remotely better ? There are lots of coffee types, some are bad, some are good but some manually selected tea leaves and coffee beans are just fabulous. All of our coffees are purchased outright whereby a price is paid for the quality. We therefore divorce ourselves from the world coffee market and guarantee to pay a price that covers the cost of production and includes a healthy margin for the farmer which is always at least 20% above the cost of production. When sourcing coffee, quality is generally our first priority but when working with larger estates in Latin America, we feel it is essential to work alongside certifications such as Rainforest Alliance or Utz. These organisations have principles embedded in International Labour law (ILO) which assure us that a great price is not only paid to the farmer but that the benefits of working with a specialty buyer cascade down to all of the farm workers too. Such certifications also include environmental standards designed for the sustainability of agricultural land and its natural eco-systems.
Our coffee pick today: Ethiopia – Arabica: The coffee culture in Ethiopia dates back to the 800s A.D. Even historical findings show that the homeland of coffee is Ethiopia. According to a rumor, goats eating coffee beans in ancient times used to be observed by the dervishes. And the dervishes boiled the juice of the fruit the goats ate and drank it. Ethiopia, which produces 384,000,000 kg of coffee per year, has prized coffee trees that yield delicious coffee. Read extra details at Coffee handblended UK.
Eco friendly coffee hint of the day : Buy From The Right People: Not all coffee roasters treat their craft with the same respect. Some carry very little about their environmental footprint. Some rigidly control their footprint with incredible precision. I encourage you to look into the practices of your local roasters to find which ones are doing a good job of reducing, reusing, and recycling. Support the efforts of those roasters, and put pressure on the others to play their part. For starters, I suggest beginning to use a reusable coffee filter. They eliminate paper waste complete, as well as k-cup waste. It’s easy to use, brews rich and delicious coffee, and will reduce your footprint in a small, yet meaningful way. We are all responsible for our planet and our own footprint. It doesn’t matter whether we drink one or five cups per day, we all play a role.
