Group B is the very same group that two of the three home nations competing in France are placed within.

With the tournament offering the young English side an opportunity to really make a name for themselves on the world stage, it is our coffee that is coming under scrutiny today.

Colombia has a fine history of coffee growing, cultivating and roasting with some of the world’s finest coffee hailing from the South American nation.
With that in mind, we believe our micro-lot from the Luis Gonzaga Ordonez farm, Finca Monique, offers some of the finest beans which stand up against any coffee from any nation.
Which is a mean feat, when you factor in that Colombia is not only the world’s largest producer of washed Arabica, but also the second largest coffee producing nation in the world.

Sustainability is a huge issue with global coffee farming.
With some of the finest coffees in the world coming from some of the most remote locations on the planet, it is important to ensure that the farmers are using ethical methods to not only grow their beans, but ensure their immediate environment is not damaged affecting their future crop propositions.
For many farmers, wildlife is not usually an issue when considering how and where to grow their coffee.
Large portions of the Sumatran rainforest have been cleared for intensive farming purposes, leaving the Sumatran Orangutan to become critically endangered.
We are therefore incredibly proud to offer Orang Utan Friendly Coffee, helping not only the endangered primate, but the farmers that live side-by-side with the majestic animal.
