OUR COFFEE ETHOS
Fairtrade
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world and enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
Rainforest Alliance
From fighting deforestation and climate change to building economic opportunities and better working conditions for rural people, the Rainforest Alliance is working to solve urgent environmental and social challenges.
Organic
Organic coffee means farmers don’t use unnecessary chemicals and pesticides - good news for plant and animal life. It’s also good news for farmers, organic certification means they command higher prices, on top of the Fairtrade premium.
CERTIFIED COFFEE
Certified coffees take one or more aspects of sustainability into account. This means the coffee was grown in a healthy environment, is economically viable for farmers, promotes fairness among farmers and workers, or all three aspects.
To us, certifications are not just badges, they’re principles. We were an early adopter of Fairtrade coffee back in 1991 and we continue to help certified cooperatives grow and improve.
12
13
DIRECT TRADE COFFEE
We are commited to buying as much of our coffee direct from the producer as possible to make sure we have full control over our quality as well as making sure that producers are paid fairly. Our target is to buy 90% of our coffee direct from the producer by 2023. (We need to leave a little room for certified coffee which comes from certified cooperatives).
We have 5 key targets for our direct trade coffee:
1. Full visibility. We can tell you about the farm, the farmer and their story.
2. The farmer receives a fair, sustainable price. Always above the Fairtrade minimum.
3. Our farmers commit to sustainable farming methods and best practice and refute child labour.
4. A continued micro-lot program. We regularly get ‘one-of-a-kind’ coffees which are unique, inherently seasonal and above all; sensational!
5. Guaranteed quality! Whether its speciality coffee or commodity coffee, we will always portray the coffee in its best light.

FARM IN FOCUS
Mió is a coffee farm in Monte Santo de Minas, Brazil, that exports, imports, stores, and sells coffee. Coffee harvested with care by Mió workers.
A family owned / run farm that has been in the family for over 100 years, it’s owned by Carlos and Renata Pellicer and promoted by their daughter Ana Luiza Pellicer.
The farm spans a total of 1,589 hectares. A third of the land is used for the coffee processing and milling facilities, some pasture areas and the plantation of eucalyptus trees, which is home to some lovely bees. The rest of the land is equally divided between the coffee trees and the native forest reserve.
Mió pride themselves on a 100% traceability guarantee for the entire crop every year. Each stage of the journey, from where the cherries were harvested, which trucks moved them, how and when they were processed, is tracked using satellite imagery. Being a technology-driven farm improves the farmworkers’ quality of life, ensures an abundant harvest and guarantees the highest processing standards for the crop.

OUR PROCESSES
Natural
A dry process, which doesn’t involve a wet-mill — considered the most ecofriendly coffee process there is. Used for most of Mió’s microlots to increase the fruity and citrus aromas while retaining the sweetness in the cup.
Honey
This involves the mechanical de-pulping of the cherries at the wet-mill while ensuring the mucilage stays attached to the beans. This sticky part of the cherry contains high amounts of sugar, resulting in a pronounced body and developed, chocolaty sweetness in Mió’s coffee.

85 million people around the world don’t have access to clean water. The majority live in isolated, rural areas – the same areas growing our coffee.
It’s wrong that while we enjoy the purest filtered water in our coffee, the communities at the end of its supply chain face a water crisis.
WHY WATER? WHY COFFEE?
We bring clean water, sanitation and education to coffeegrowing communities across the world.
Access to clean water changes everything. Child mortality rates drop. Girls can spend more time in school. Women can start their own businesses. And dignity is restored to communities.
18
19
‘Every coffee bean we sell, contributes to our cause of ending the water crisis in 3rd world countries within our lifetime!’
CAFE FEMENINO
The Café Femenino coffee program is a one-of-a-kind ethical sourcing model committed to ending the cycle of poverty affecting women coffee farmers across the world. Café Femenino provides direct compensation to women farmers, along with the opportunity and resources to enact positive change in their communities and on their own terms.
20
This coffee stands for woman.
EQUALITY IN COFFEE FARMING
Women in remote and rural coffee communities face a host of challenges that keep them trapped in poverty. Many of these isolated women live in male-dominated societies and have very little financial control or decision-making power.
In 2003, 464 women farmers in Northern Peru decided to change this dynamic by separating their coffee production from the men’s. In that moment, for the first time, this group of women created their own product and income. Their coffee cooperative CECANOR joined their commercial partner Organic Products Trading Company (OPTCO) to create Café Femenino—a gender-focused program to support social justice and empowerment for women coffee producers worldwide.

Selling that ‘second cup’ is what motivates us and it’s no secret to what is needed to sell it, but it’s a fine art to make it a reality. There are 3 areas to consider that hold equal importance.
1. Attraction
Attracting your customer starts before they even enter your venue, positioning your brand to attract your target audience, combined with clear and attractive signage is paramount to success. Our passion is coffee and attractive design and branding is our obsession. Bringing the two together is what we do.

Product quality is essential, but consistency is key in this instance. The only way to true consistency is to have a brand standard and use it as a key performance indicator that is monitored internally and externally. This is where our Brand Champion Programme comes in, we will help to create that brand standard, then monitor it through mystery shopping visits and periodic brand guardian visits to train and educate staff.
3. Promotion
Having a robust marketing plan not only drives the bottom line but gives the customer assurance that the outlet is a forward thinking, consumer centric organisation that is staying abreast of food and drink innovations. We have created annual marketing plans for our customers taking into account, local competition, seasonality and current market trends.
