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.
The Wahana Estate was established in 2005, and currently extends across
468 hectares, 250 of which are given over to growing coffee, with a further
30 hectares to a nursery. From an initial concentration on the Rasuna
and Longberry varietals, the estate has moved to a more diverse offering
comprising local varietals such as Andong Sari, Jember, and Jantung, as well
as more recognisable ones such as Villa Sarchi, Colombia, and Catuai. The estate also provides free housing, water and electricity to the 1,000 workers it employs, as well as there being a free health centre on site, kindergarten, and nursery.
The Rasuna varietal is a crossing between Catimor, which was widely found
across Indonesia (and itself is a cross between Hybrido de Timor and Caturra),
and Typica. Catmiors did well, but suffered a remarkable drop off in yield after
10 years, a problem not present in Typica, which was low yielding but had a
much longer lifespan. The crossing of these has managed to keep the best of
both, and is found across 45% of the farm, as well as being used as a control
varietal on the farm when comparing against newer varietal introductions.
Wahana have their own wetmill and are able to concentrate on processing at
all steps.
