House Blend Coffee
Organic
Mexico / Peru
Medium roast arabica beans. 70% of the coffee beans come from farming families in Mexico, and the other 30% is from Peru. The beans are roasted weekly so that you always get fresh quality. Aroma: nutty, chocolatey. Flavour: fruity, marzipan, honey, low acidity.
Storage & shelf life
Store the coffee beans in an airtight container. A porcelain or ceramic container is ideal, but a plastic container will also work well. Store the container in a cool, dark and dry place. If possible, use up the beans within 2 to 6 weeks of receiving them. Only grind enough beans for the coffee you want to brew right away.

FARMER FROM YOCHIB, MEXICO
Using organic farming techniques means we get better prices for our coffee.
"We employ two workers during harvest time, and my family helps me with the rest," says Efrain Ichin Gomez. "This year I sold 829 kilos of coffee," he explains. The farmer and his wife also grow maize and beans and keep chickens for themselves. Climate change poses the biggest challenge for this family with three children. "We have to replace plants that dry out or die of disease more and more frequently," says Gomez. "The steep slopes on our land make the work more difficult."
Background
We want fairer coffee
People in Europe drink more than 30 billion cups of coffee a year. Millions of family farmers grow the coffee to meet this huge demand. Far too many of these families live in abject poverty because the price of coffee is too low.
