We are proud to have embarked on a unique adventure with our import partners Belco. Driven by an ambition to deliver coffee with a lower carbon footprint, Belco have reintroduced sailing ships to transport coffee across the world.
Belco aims to transport 90% of their green coffee by sail, by 2030, reducing transport emissions by 75%. As one of the first roasters worldwide to feature coffee from the maiden voyage, this is a chance to enjoy coffee with a new level of sustainability.
Plus, with every 250g bag sold, we will contribute 1 EUR to Project Waterfall.
Barco de Vela
This washed coffee was produced in the town of Yacuanquer, Nariño by 60 families. Here, families grow coffee on an artisan scale. The clean profile offer crisp notes of apricot, cacao nib, and citrus, with the smooth sweetness of milk chocolate.Â
Project Waterfall
Last year, we teamed up with Project Waterfall to help deliver a water benefitting coffee growing communities in Ethiopia. With this coffee, we are supporting a second project in Rwanda which will deliver clean water projects to more than 40,000 people in Bugesera, Rwanda.
