How fresh is the coffee I will receive?

• We aim to deliver coffee that is less than 14 days post-roast at the time it reaches your door.
• We work closely with our roasters to ensure peak freshness with every order.

As a general guide:

• 0–8 days post-roast:
  Coffee is fresh and drinkable, but may still be developing its full flavour.
• 9–35 days post-roast:
  Peak drinking window – flavours are well-developed and balanced.
• 35–56 days post-roast:
  Still tastes good, though flavour clarity may begin to fade.
• 56+ days post-roast:
  Coffee may start to taste stale or flat – we recommend using it sooner.

Is your coffee ethically sourced?

• Yes - we only work with roasters who source their coffee ethically.

What does ethical sourcing mean to us?

• Fair pay for farmers:
  Ensuring producers receive a living income and are paid above market rates.
• Transparent supply chains:
  Sourcing coffee through traceable, direct relationships wherever possible.
• Respect for communities:
  Backing partners who invest in the wellbeing of farming communities, including education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

We regularly review our roasters to ensure their values and practices align with our commitment to sustainability and fairness.
