Rainforest Alliance Coffee tasting

I understand from those in the know, that the Rainforest Alliance people have been criticised for not putting themselves about enough in the UK when it comes to promoting coffee that they have certified.

It would appear that they are now making amends for this apparent omission by doing a "Sustainable Quality Coffee Tasting" in London on the 29th of November. The exact location is Canning House, 2 Belgrave Square.

We're excited because it's the first time that coffee roasted by us will be seen and tated at a major UK event.

We've normally been very reticent in this area, however because we now have the ability to supply coffee from a farm that I have visited and can vouch for, we've decided to tell the world or at least those who'll be attending this event!

The coffee we've selected is from the Daterra Farm in Brazil, and are their Sunrise and Bruzzi selections. We think that they are not only great coffees, but also that they truly represent sustainable coffee. They don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk.

If there were more farms on this planet like Daterra then we could all rest assured that the planet was in good hands. (and, no I don't have shares in the Farm!)

Of course if you can't get to the London event I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't tell you that you could buy both of these exceptional coffees from our website. Sunrise is great for Filters and Cafetiere, Bruzzi for all espresso based drinks.

Enjoy!
