We are proud to have embarked on a unique adventure with our import partners Belco. Driven by an ambition to deliver coffee with a lower carbon footprint, Belco have reintroduced sailing ships to transport coffee across the world.
Belco aims to transport 90% of their green coffee by sail, by 2030, reducing transport emissions by 75%. As one of the first roasters worldwide to feature coffee from the maiden voyage, this is a chance to enjoy coffee with a new level of sustainability.
Plus, with every 250g bag sold, we will contribute 1 EUR to Project Waterfall.
Barco de Vela
This washed coffee was produced in the town of Yacuanquer, Nariño by 60 families. Here, families grow coffee on an artisan scale. The clean profile offer crisp notes of apricot, cacao nib, and citrus, with the smooth sweetness of milk chocolate.
Project Waterfall
Last year, we teamed up with Project Waterfall to help deliver a water benefitting coffee growing communities in Ethiopia. With this coffee, we are supporting a second project in Rwanda which will deliver clean water projects to more than 40,000 people in Bugesera, Rwanda.
The cool microclimate in Yacuanquer means coffee matures slowly, developing delicious complexity. Expect crisp notes of apricot, rhubarb, and cacao nib. The smooth sweetness is like milk chocolate, while citric acidity keeps things balanced.
What makes this coffee special are the small producers working with traditional processes. Around the town of Yacuanquer, Nariño, families produce coffee on small estates, with minimal intervention. After harvest by hand, the cherries are transported to the local mill where they are graded and processed.
On the border with Ecuador, Nariño is home to nearly 14,000 producers on more than 38,000 hectares. The average size of each plantation is 2.7 hectares per family, representing only 4% of Colombian coffee production. However, it is one of the most famous and awarded growing regions in the country, with climate and terroir that is perfectly suited to specialty coffee.
For this lot, freshly harvested cherries were first pulped to remove the outer skin. The coffee was then fermented in water, helping to break down the mucilage that surrounds the beans. The beans are then washed to remove any remaining mucilage, before drying on raised beds.
