Inside the Blend: Sourcing with Purpose
We believe that exceptional speciality coffee should taste good and do good. We are incredibly proud to source the beans for our Breakfast Wine blend from producers who prioritise environmental sustainability and community welfare.
Fazenda Pinhal – Sul De Minas, Brazil
Situated near San Antonio De Amparo, Fazenda Pinhal is a stunning 914-hectare estate owned by the Gabarra Teixeria family since 1994. Recognising that great coffee requires a healthy ecosystem, only 33% (296 hectares) of the farm is planted with coffee. The remaining land is dedicated to a natural reserve, eucalyptus forests, and open pasture for cattle.
Sustainability & Welfare at Fazenda Pinhal:
- Award-Winning Sustainability: Proud winner of the 2019 award for Brazil's Most Sustainable Coffee Farm.
- 100% Solar Powered: In 2019, the farm installed solar panels that now supply their entire energy usage.
- Wildlife Conservation: The estate features an on-site bird sanctuary to rehabilitate injured birds and actively coordinates environmental research programmes with local universities.
- Employee Care: Fazenda Pinhal prioritises employee wellbeing by providing dental care plans and actively researching occupational injury prevention to create a highly sustainable working environment.
Sweet Berry – Idido Village, Ethiopia
The vibrant, lively half of this blend comes from the Sweet Berry project in Ethiopia. This is a classic naturally processed coffee with a built-in premium that directly funds the construction of water wells in producer villages, drastically improving access to clean, safe drinking water in the Idido community.
The Growing Environment & Processing:
- Selective Harvesting: Cherries are individually picked by hand. Farmers rotate among the trees every eight to ten days, ensuring only the ripest, deep red cherries are chosen.
- Traditional Natural Process: Utilising the oldest and most natural method of processing coffee, the entire cherry is cleaned immediately after harvest and placed in the warm Ethiopian sun to dry slowly on raised tables lining the hillsides.
- Community Impact: Every cup of Sweet Berry coffee directly supports clean water initiatives for the dedicated farmers and families who grew it.
