This coffee is grown at Finca Guadalupe Zaju in Mexico, a farm that was in a state of almost complete disrepair before being taken over in 2004 by Eduardo 'Teddy' Estave. He has been lovingly restoring it ever since to its previously esteemed and reputable status. The coffee is carefully roasted to achieve a slightly darker roast profile and richer depth of flavour. The packaging uses fully home compostable inner bags and fully home recyclable outer boxes and stickers, without foil lining or plastic ventilation valves.
Lost Barn Coffee Roasters sits on a family dairy farm in Tilston, Cheshire. Co founders Blair, a New Zealand born chef who had previously opened three cafés in Melbourne, Jo, whose background is in sustainable design, and Faye, whose travels through New Zealand and Australia shaped the creative vision, started the roastery in a converted shipping container before moving into a purpose built facility. They hand roast on a copper roaster in small batches. Their Bloomsbury Espresso Blend won a three star Great Taste Award in 2020 and a Golden Fork from delicious. magazine. Wholesale deliveries go out in refillable, zero waste tubs via a fully electric van.
