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.
ABOut MIDWINTER BLEND
Our midwinter blend is a special blend of two amazing coffees.
Colombia Tres Dragones is a coffee produced by Cafe Granja La Esperanza, in one of their family farms: Potosí. The uniqueness of this coffee comes from an innovative Dual Natural Fermentation which enhances the sweetness of the beans. Its name comes from the three gas-fired furnaces used in its unique drying process after fermentation. The coffee is made from the Colombia varietal, a hybrid of Hybrid-de-Timor and Caturra, and is processed naturally.
African Moon is a natural processed coffee grown in the Rwenzori Mountains, community sourced with the contribution of small farmers with plot sizes from 1 to 3 acres. African Moon is one of the main incomes for many of the families of the Rwenzoris.
In the cup these two unique coffees showcase juicy and sticky sweetness, with notes of dry fruits and cherries. Expect a long lingering flavour with a touch of sweet spices.
