What is the best filter coffee? Sometimes our job is to ask odd questions and it amazes me that Google has decided that people’s taste is still back in the 1990’s. I used to jest about the top 10 coffees in the world (which weren’t, just that they were the most known). So for a […]
The pandemic has affected many of our friends around the world. One area that concerns me is how we are going to use enough coffee to be able to buy again from our producers. As the coffee industry has grown we have all increased our purchases and spread our wings. Although coffee at home has […]
Just like home coffee sales, home sales of tea have rocketed over the last month. This is great that people are buying leaf tea and taking the time to enjoy it. My lock-down experience has stopped me from consuming milk in any beverage and I now wonder why I ever did? As a coffee drinker, […]
Over the last few weeks, we have seen so much love for brewing coffee and tea at home. The lovely thing about it is that people have time to really enjoy their coffee more. Grind it by hand (or however). For many, this very odd situation ( I feel weird every time I see or […]

Rather than just popping down to your local mega-market in […]
Random Intro Let’s not talk about the market and where it is going, let’s talk about the important stuff. Good News For a very long time, we have bought the highest quality coffee that we can afford. This hasn’t changed. When Brexit was announced in 2016 did we do the 12.5% price hike? No, it […]
Last week Cassio was overseeing our Brazilian Organic Coffees getting put into our 40-foot container. We seem to be having many new crop deliveries at the moment, but this is one delivery I am particularly proud of and connected to.
Contentiously already using the “C” word and not Happy Holidays! When I travel I see some companies, from developed countries, are profoundly against child labour. I don’t endorse it, however, in the UK, our holidays are built around agricultural harvests and the occasional ancient festivities that punctuate our calendar. As a nation, when we used […]
I think there are a few of you, who will get this better than others. I am referring to the fact that we have been battling with trying to do the right thing with packaging. We spent the equivalent of a Land Rover (good country measure) on recyclable bags, just over a year ago. The […]
