Without a healthy planet, there is no coffee...
Which is why the coffee beans in our blends are ethically sourced from around the world - from Guatemala to Indonesia. We also reduce our impact where we can, which is why all our coffee bags are recyclable,
but here are some other uses for our bags:
GUATEMALA
Guatemala is a major coffee producer, known for its rich and complex Arabica beans grown at high altitudes (1,200 to 2,000 meters) in regions like Antigua and Huehuetenango. The country's volcanic soils, ample rainfall, and ideal temperatures contribute to unique flavour profiles with notes of chocolate, spice, and fruit. Coffee is hand-picked to ensure quality, and many farmers practice sustainable and organic methods. Coffee is a key economic driver, providing livelihoods for thousands and contributing significantly to exports.
COSTA RICA
Costa Rica's coffee farming thrives in its high-altitude, diverse climate, producing primarily Arabica beans known for their superior quality. Introduced in the late 18th century, coffee has been crucial to the country's economy. Covering about 95,000 hectares, Costa Rica produces around 1.5 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee annually. The country emphasizes sustainable practices, with many farms certified by organizations like Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade. Costa Rican coffee, often processed using the wet method, reflects the country's rich cultural heritage and commitment to environmental responsibility.
BRAZIL
Brazil is the world’s largest coffee producer, accounting for about 40% of global output, with both Arabica and Robusta varieties grown. Spanning diverse climates and elevations, its coffee plantations cover around 2.2 million hectares and yield 60 to 70 million 60-kilogram bags annually. The country employs mechanized harvesting on large farms, though sustainability efforts and certifications like Rainforest Alliance are less widespread. Coffee is integral to Brazil’s culture and economy, with a processing mix of dry and wet methods that impact the flavor profile.
INDONESIA
Indonesia is a major coffee producer, ranking fourth globally, with a history dating back to the 17th century. The country grows both Arabica and Robusta varieties, with notable regions including Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and Bali. Coffee is cultivated on volcanic islands, benefiting from fertile soil and suitable climates. Indonesia produces around 11 to 12 million 60-kilogram bags annually and is known for its distinctive wet-hulling process, which imparts a unique, earthy flavor. Coffee farming plays a vital role in Indonesian culture and economy, with ongoing efforts to improve sustainability and environmental practices.
EL SALVADOR
El Salvador is a key coffee producer in Central America, primarily cultivating Arabica varieties like Bourbon, Pacamara, and Pacas. Coffee is grown in the highlands at elevations of 1,200 to 1,800 meters (3,937 to 5,906 feet) on volcanic soil, contributing to its quality. The country produces around 1.5 million 60-kilogram bags annually from about 80,000 hectares (198,000 acres) of plantations. El Salvador predominantly uses the washed processing method, known for enhancing the coffee's clean flavor. However, the industry faces challenges such as climate change and coffee leaf rust, with ongoing efforts to improve sustainability and environmental practices. Coffee plays a vital role in the country's culture and economy.
