If you’re looking for coffee that not only tastes good but also has a social justice story and ethical nature, Artistry Coffee is a great choice. Artistry Coffee has just taken delivery of 4 fresh roasts of ethical coffee beans, each with its own unique taste profile and backstory.
The Wing blend is a classic balanced house filter blend with taste notes of orange creme, raspberry, and caramel. The coffee is sourced from Sidamo, Ethiopia, and Ortega, Colombia. The Asociacion Sembradores de Vida works directly with local producers in the Ortega region of Colombia to help them prioritize coffee production and produce higher quality coffee. The coffee from Sidamo, Ethiopia adds rich, full-bodied caramel flavors with vibrant summer fruits and a subtle enhancement reminiscent of jasmine and sweet citrus.
The Block is a full-bodied espresso blend with taste notes of cocoa, fudge, and baked apple. The coffee is sourced from Puno, Peru, and Mogiana, Brazil. The base of the coffee comes from Patricia’s coffee farm in Mogiana, Brazil. Patricia is the eldest daughter of a coffee farmer and broke through the male-dominated sector to run her coffee farm. In the Puno region of Peru, the multi-award-winning producer group CECOVASA helps coffee-growing families obtain fairer prices to improve coffee production and conservation in the area.
Poder Feminino are beans from Honduras highlighting the role of women in the coffee supply chain. The coffee features selected beans from many different female producers who form the Poder Feminino Aruco group – meaning the “Power of Women.” The producers are all based in the Copan Region in Western Honduras. The coffee has roasted hazelnut, butterscotch, and blackcurrant notes and is particularly good for espresso.
Ryamukona, Burundi is a carnival of colourful flavour notes with highlights of pineapple, cantaloupe, and strawberry. The coffee is sourced from Burundi, and the preparation process is known as ‘honey’ because the coffee is allowed to be dried without washing off the sticky-sweet outer layer. The resulting coffee is sweeter, has more body, and a more fruity flavor. The premium asking price for this coffee helps support local families by ensuring employees at the washing station are paid 25% higher than other local washing stations.
Redemption Roasters, the sourcer and roaster commenced operations in Aylesbury Young Offenders Prison with a mission to help reduce re-offending rates by skilling up young people to help them find jobs and reintegrate into society. The project has now expanded to 9+ prisons and has an enlarged roastery facility in HMP The Mount near Hemel Hempstead. Small batches of beans are expertly roasted, led by a Head Roaster and Assistant Roaster who also train professional roasting skills. So not only is the coffee ethically sourced, but the roasting process is socially responsible too.
Each bag of Artistry Coffee is heat-sealed, with a one-way valve to release gases, yet prevent air intake. The packaging is now 100% recyclable, making it a great choice for environmentally conscious coffee drinkers.
