OUR COFFEE

Our coffee is roasted locally in Ditchling by our good friends at Back Yard Coffee. Using only the best beans, our house blend is made up of three parts;

 - Brazilian

 - Ugandan

 - Peruvian

 

which are all fairtrade and ethically sourced. Our coffee is always freshly roasted and delivered the week its served to you.

 

Our Beans 

 

We buy only beans we can trust in.  We have over the years our a lot of effort and time in selecting our beans. We always buy beans that are fair trade and ethically sourced. 

 

Brazil

 

We buy from a great farm in Brazil called Auga Santa. 

We started using them from the early days. By the power of social media an old school friend of Elliott’s contacted him, and let him know that his partners father has a coffee farm in Brazil. Amazing coffee in fact. 

 

Not only was is great coffee, we could build a great relationship with the farmers and make sure they are well looked after. We also loved the fact that a tree is planted in the rainforest for every pallet we buy. 

 

Uganda

 

We buy our Ugandan coffee from an amazing parter with have, they deal with all the middle ground. Importing, farmers, quality control and green sourcing. 

 

They have a huge passion for high-quality arabicas from East Africa.

 

They truly believe in the transformative economic power of coffee and have seen first hand the impact it makes on farmers, their families and entire communities. Good coffee and good relationships come from collaboration. They’re working closely with growers, farmers and buyers directly at the source.

 

When we tried the Ugandan from them we knew this was something we had to have, and immediately asked them not to show this to anyone else and we will buy the full crop from that farm, as long as we have the assurance that the farm will reap the rewards of selling they crop so quick.

Peruvian

 

When it comes to making up the blend we needed a third part, or not, but we wanted a third part. We knew it’s was something just to add a little extra flavour to the coffee so didn’t want to be buying a huge quantity up front. Thankfully there is an amazing company is Sussex that is one of the uk best and largest green bean importer. They guided us and have always been on hand to point us in the right direction.

 

So this is the part of the blend that changes, we buy a bean they matches as closely as possible what we already have, we want and need that consistency. Current we are using Peruvian green. We have enough for another 4-5 months. Then we will see what the market brings
