Our London Fields range Roaster’s Choice Espresso blend is a blend of a Typica varietal from Chiapas, Mexico and a Bourbon & Caturra varietal from Cajamarca, Peru.
Our first component from Mexico comes from Ejidos Union San Fernando Co-operative, a partner in direct trade with Cafedirect since 1996. San Fernando works with over 1,300 smallholder farmers with 40% of that being female producers. Silvia Herrara is one of these inspiring female producers who we were lucky enough to showcase her Natural Geisha last year after she came 2nd in the Mexican Cup of Excellence.
Our second component comes from Cooperativa La Prosperidad de Chirinos, one of our longest standing partners and an organisation that has been producing amazing and consistent coffee for over 50 years. They are part of our affiliated charity Producers Direct's centre of excellence and have a successful youth committee encouraging the younger generation of farmers to succeed in farming. The Co-operative is made up of 725 members, of which 25% are female producers.
If you’re a Fairtrade coffee connoisseur, chances are you’ll already be familiar with Cafédirect’s brilliant brews. Not only were they the first Fairtrade hot drinks brand in the UK, they’re also the largest and are a certified B Corp too.
As you’d expect, Cafédirect does right by the producers they work with and are committed to helping smallholder growers thrive – now and in the future. That’s why they invest 50% of profits into Producers Direct, on top of the Fairtrade premiums they pay.
What is Producers Direct? It’s a charity run by growers, for growers, which improves livelihoods and creates a sustainable future. They organise training and education on everything from diversifying crops in response to climate change to bookkeeping.
This way of doing business benefits everyone involved. It gives farmers security and ever-evolving knowledge on growing top-quality coffee as well as being good for community wellbeing. This in turn allows Cafédirect to get great tasting, continually improving coffee into your mug at home. Or, hot chocolate or tea if those are more your bag – they do luxurious hot chocolate and a range called London Tea, too.
Plus, Cafédirect is making efforts to take care of the planet, with at least a third of their coffee being Soil Association Certified.
