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.

AFRICAN MOON

£10.00

African Moon is sourced from Uganda thanks to the work of Agri Evolve. The story of Agri Evolve started in 2010 at Reading University. Johnny Rowland, a budding Agronomist studying Tropical Agriculture, heard his parents recount inspiring stories from their time spent living and working in rural Uganda. Johnny decided it was something he wanted to experience for himself post-university.

J oined by his childhood friend James Wilkinson decided they would travel to the Rwenzori mountains to try their hand at creating agricultural projects, and in the process founded the profit-for-purpose business 'Agri Evolve'.

Working for a Rural Development centre in Kagando known as KARUDEC. This focus on the individuals highlighted the importance of the bigger-picture-potential for Jonny set their sights to work supporting entire communities of farmers, maximising the positive impact that they could bring to the Rwenzoris.

A consistent problem presented itself for farmers based in the Rwenzoris. They had coffee, but no access to basic harvesting or processing facilities. This coupled with traders offering often unfair prices for their crops in a quick cash grab. Set the scene for a positive actor to enter the region and transform coffee.

This opportunity for Johnny and James to work alongside farmers was exactly what he was looking for. Offering an outlet for farmers to sell their unprocessed coffee, take ownership of the quality control and together improve the reputation of the coffee produced in the Rwenzori.

They guaranteed a fair market price and their long-term presence attracted international attention from buyers around the world. Rwenzori coffee had been reinstated on the global coffee map.

Dangerously Delicious

I tell people only drink one coffee a day - but with this it may be impossible.
Utterly delicious.
I am a promiscuous coffee buyer always looking for a ‘new kind of kick’ - as I don’t drink that much.I have tried a lot of coffee - there’s so much good coffee out there.
This is a ‘kick’and a high one !
I guess this is the coffee for me .
Smoother than smooth with serious body.
