We take ethical sourcing seriously. We have to because it's important to us and it's complicated as well. We are a Fair Trade certified roastery and produce a number of Fair Trade blends and single origin coffees. Looking for the Fair Trade label is a great to ensure the product you use are ethically sourced. But it's not the only way, it's a big wide world out there and not all of it is officially assessed, so we work with our partners and at times directly with farmers to ensure, Fair Trade certified or not, that we can stand by the process by which the coffees we supply were grown and obtained.

Compostable cups and bags! Seems like a cool idea. But where do they go, can I put them in my green bin? The answer is unfortunately no, the Christchurch City Council collection won't currently take any compostable packaging. What you can do is compost them yourself and feed your garden with the goodness. Otherwise, if you can't manage that you can drop them back to us and we'll compost them at our little farm in Leeston. The idea is to take responsibility for all of the packaging waste that we produce as a business... we reckon it's worth a try huh
