Social Impact
As a social enterprise, our primary mission is to help reduce homelessness in the UK through training and employment within speciality coffee.
65% of the profits we generate are reinvested into our barista training programme.
Whether that's assisting our head roaster at our roastery or working in one of our cafes as a barista, we're committed to supporting our trainees from training to employment.
Sustainability
We've made a commitment to plant a tree for every 1kg bag of coffee that we sell, through our partnership with the Eden Reforestation Project.
Whether you are a wholesale customer or simply buying a bag online, you can now enjoy your coffee knowing not only is it responsibly sourced, it is also helping the planet.
Sourcing Quality Coffee
We ensure the coffees we serve are as fresh and seasonal as possible to showcase the wonderful diversity of flavours and aromas found in different coffees around the world.
We also have a strong focus on quality. Higher quality means a better price for the farmer, so it is very important that we continue to work with the producers that consistently supply us with high scoring coffees. This helps them secure a higher price which is often 4 - 5 times higher than the Fairtrade minimum.
Café La Cumbre is part of a family business that has its roots for more than 90 years. Husband and wife team Minor Jiménez Abarca (fourth generation family member) and Nancy Gaitán Cruz currently produce, industrialize and market specialty coffee in a sustainable and innovative way, improving the quality of life in the area of influence and at the same time offering unique experiences to coffee consumers. This includes the creation of Café de Cumbre brand, that sells their roasted coffee to Costa Ricans.
Located 15 minutes from San Marcos de Tarrazú, they state “our specialization is to cultivate varieties that develop their maximum genetic expression”.
Catuai cherries are picked when fully ripe and deep red. The cherries are allowed to ferment in barrels for 34 hours with no water, before being pulped. With 75% of the flesh left on, beans are then dried under the sun on patios before being finished in guardiolas.
