A PATH TO CHANGE
We are excited to launch our latest coffee offering – exclusive single origin espresso Camino from Peru, sourced direct from smallholder farmers and roasted in small batches in London by leading UK artisan roaster Union Hand-Roasted Coffee.
Camino is aimed at those wanting to move from standard coffee offering into the world of speciality coffee, delivering a deliciously sweet espresso and sourced ethically with a fully transparent supply chain.
Our coffee is called Camino – Spanish for Path, Journey – to bring to life our long-term journey with farmer partners in Peru.
TASTING NOTES
It is a delicious, naturally sweet espresso grown at high altitude in the hills of Peru by a group of 70 smallholder farmers. It has the perfect balance of natural sweetness and gentle acidity. Tasted as a pure espresso look out for notes of red berry jam, dark chocolate and walnut. In a flat white you will experience a smooth chocolate truffle, hobnob biscuit and roasted hazelnut flavour. Finally, in a latte you will taste flavours of sponge cake, vanilla and cashew nut.
WHY UNION
Union Hand-Roasted Coffee was chosen as partner for the project thanks to their ethical supply chain and credentials, as well as supporting a local business. Union has won ‘Best European Roaster’ award three times and was also awarded the Queen’s Award for Sustainable Enterprise in 2017.
OUR PROJECT IN JAÉN, PERU
Working together with Union Hand-Roasted Coffee and our farmer partners in Peru, we are launching a project to help farmers improve the quality of coffee by investing in training and infrastructure for coffee processing. More than just paying a fair price for our coffee, we are looking to create sustainable, long term change at origin. We will share updates of our project throughout the year.
