From today we’re transitioning from compostable to recyclable coffee bag materials. You’ll be receiving an interim design as the new bags are still in transit.
Compostable plastics sound like the perfect solution to the problem of single-use packaging, however, the infrastructure for such is still in its infancy, meaning people and processing facilities in the UK are unprepared to handle compostable plastics.

Story
Discover Las Chirimoyas, a hidden gem. Spanning 3 hectares, this farm's altitude ranges from 1,750 to 1,900masl, cultivating Catuai, Caturra, Catimor, Bourbon, and Pacamara varietals.
Acquired by Simon in 2021, he initially intended to replant, however, the farm's existing crops were surprisingly exceptional, so instead Simon and Merlith aimed to retain and gradually enrich the existing landscape.
Handpicked, floated, washed, and pulped in seasoned wooden tanks, the 72-hour fermentation infuses a distinctive character. Sun-dried on raised beds for 10 to 15 days, Las Chirimoyas yields an exceptional brew, a testament to tradition and ongoing dedication.
