Move over Wonka – this time the golden tickets are on us…

To celebrate our snazzy new #HomeCompostablePackaging, we’re giving ten lucky customers the chance to spend a day at the Factory.

Do you fancy a guided roastery tour, #coffee tasting course led by co-founder and licensed Q grader Hols AND a complimentary pack of goodies? Simple! Just purchase some coffee through our website and you’ll be in with a chance of finding a golden (sustainable wooden!) star.

10 winners will be selected at random from 20 September – 20 October 2021. T&Cs apply.

To find out more about our new packaging, check out our website through the link in our bio.

So as you might know, we have launched some new packaging and we are so excited that they are home compostable...

However, we are aware that only 3% of the UK population have a #compost bin. We want to ensure we are closing the loop as much as possible and have put together some instructions for how you can dispose of your bag if you don't have access to a compost bin - simply scan the QR code on the back of the bag or follow the link in our bio to get straight to our disposal information page.

Beyond chuffed to have some of our wholesale family at the Roastery this evening for the launch of our new packaging.

The past two years have been quite the ride so we want to say a massive thank you to this lovely lot for continuing to support us - it has been bloomin' lovely to get together for a good old catch up over plenty of @pizzafella and a few @wildbeerco cans!

A big part of our new #branding has been focused on better providing a platform to our producing partners to tell their own story and showcase their #coffee in a manner of their choosing. It is our hope that, in doing so, our customers become more connected to our producers building more viable business models across our supply chain.

The role of #photography is crucial in how the producer narrative is updated and shared. We are blown away by these shots of Mutai Kinyua on his farm ‘Deman’ in Meru, #Kenya – taken by #Nairobi-based photographer @shem.obara and shared with us by dear friend @vavacoffeekenya

New season #Kenyancoffee will launch with the new packaging from the 18th September and we are so excited to hear what you think.

We happen to believe we’re well on the way to be

We happen to believe we’re well on the way to becoming the Queens of Composting 👏 👑

The packaging we work with, (whilst not yet certified home compostable due to being a relatively new mix of material) will degrade in around 6 months in a well managed #HomeCompost setup (with oxygen, soil, nitrogen, co2, heat, moisture).

The bags have the highest percentage of #BiobasedMaterial (cellulose, kraft paper and sugarcane with a compostable valve) of any on the market - what’s more, we are able to calculate our #EnvironmentalImpact and offsetting requirements with technology created by Grounded Packaging to account for global transportation too.

The printing techniques used create less waste and utilise compostable inks - the bags are printed using a flexographic technique that uses up to 30% less ink than other methods. The label and adhesive are also compostable meaning no separation is required.

We know not everyone has a #compost bin so check out our blog (link in bio) to get top tips on how to dispose of our new bags.
