About Our Coffee

About our coffee

Great tasting coffee that doesnt hurt the planet

Unlike other coffee roasters, our supplier takes proactive steps to capture, reduce, and offset the emissions from the coffee production and roasting processes, striving to be as eco-friendly as possible.

 

Traditional drum roasters typically generate 80% of the total carbon emissions across the entire supply chain for each kilogram of coffee sold.

 

To illustrate, 1 tonne of drum roasted coffee results in nearly 3 tonnes of carbon emissions from farm to cup.

 

In contrast, using a modern convection roaster allows us to capture emissions during the roasting process, significantly impacting the entire supply chain. This approach alone prevents hundreds of tonnes of emissions from entering the atmosphere each year.

    Recycle used coffee grounds and use in your garden
    We repackage all used coffee grounds in the original recycled coffee bags and offer these to green fingered customers for free. Coffee grounds adds valuable nitrogen to the compost, which helps to break down other organic matter and create a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
