Our Commitment to Sustainability

When searching for our roasting partner, we carefully considered the sustainability and environmental practices that they used.  We needed to ensure that they aligned with our own values in addition to producing fantastic tasting coffee.  Based in Yorkshire, our independent family owned roaster is committed to reducing their ecological footprint and delivering exceptional coffee. As we continue to grow, we will be transparent about all roasters we partner with, sharing details about how they approach sourcing & selection of beans and roasting practices to ensure they meet our high standards for sustainability.

 

Energy-Efficient Roasting

Our roasting partner has invested in state-of-the-art roasters that use 80% less gas compared to traditional models. This significant reduction in energy consumption helps to lower their carbon footprint during the roasting process, ensuring that every batch of coffee is produced with consideration for the environment.

Use of Renewable Energy

Powered by renewable energy sources, our roaster further reduces their impact on the environment. This commitment to clean energy aligns with our shared goal of providing sustainable coffee to our customers.

 

Recycling and Waste Reduction

Our roasting partner is dedicated to recycling as much as possible within their own operations. They maintain a 99% paperless office, significantly cutting down on paper waste, and use biodegradable packing materials to ensure that the impact on the planet is kept to a minimum.

All packaging apart from the white bags for our decaffeinated beans are made from LDPE which can be recycled in your local kerbside recycling bin.  Our white bags can be recycled at supermarket collection points or by using Terracycle.  Please do check each supermarkets recycling capability to make sure it's suitable.

 

Eco-Friendly Packaging

The packaging used by our roasting partner is designed to preserve the freshness of your coffee while being kind to the planet. They offer options that support a lower carbon footprint, such as using paper instead of plastic tape, and encourage customers to make eco-friendly choices.  

 

Support for Coffee Sustainability

A portion of proceeds from coffee sales goes directly to the World Coffee Research, an organisation focused on improving the sustainability and quality of coffee production worldwide. This support helps to secure the future of coffee-growing regions and ensures that high-quality coffee can be enjoyed for generations to come.

 

Reducing Transportation Impact

To lessen the environmental impact of transportation, our roasting partner orders supplies in bulk. This approach reduces the frequency of shipments, cutting down on carbon emissions associated with transport. 

Our commitment to sustainable practices means you can enjoy every cup of coffee knowing that it has been produced with respect for the planet.  From energy-efficient roasting to support for global coffee sustainability, we are leading the way in balancing great taste with environmental responsibility.
