  As the seasons change, so does our TEAMWORK espresso, highlighting the very best single origin coffees throughout the year. We’re looking for coffees that are balanced and sweet, delicious in milk, and with enough complexity to be enjoyed straight up. This coffee comes from a group of farmers growing coffee in the highlands from Jaen to San Ignacio, close to the Ecuadorian border. This region has a huge diversity of flora and fauna and rainfall throughout the year - perfect conditions for growing quality coffee. Expect a full bodied and indulgent espresso, with notes of forest fruit and chocolate.

  Today, nearly half of coffee production comes from countries predicted to lose more than 60% of land suitable for growing coffee by 2050. As temperatures rise and extreme weather becomes more frequent, coffee farming is becoming increasingly difficult and less profitable for many producers across the globe. World Coffee Research is a non-profit organisation providing farmers with the tools, knowledge, and plants necessary to adapt in a changing climate. Together with our importing partners Caravela, we are donating €0.50 from every Kg of TEAMWORK Seasonal Espresso to support their work.

Our Teamwork Espresso is purchased through Caravela, who is both the importer and exporter for this coffee. Caravela purchased this coffee directly from 31 farmers in San Ignacio, Cajamarca with upfront payments. Caravela was then responsible for the dry milling, warehousing and all of the logistics getting this coffee to our roastery.

In an effort to improve the sustainability of our sourcing, this coffee comes from a farming community we've been buying from for the last three years. This lot was contracted up to 12 months before the coffee was harvested.
