From today we’re transitioning from compostable to recyclable coffee bag materials. You’ll be receiving an interim design as the new bags are still in transit.
Compostable plastics sound like the perfect solution to the problem of single-use packaging, however, the infrastructure for such is still in its infancy, meaning people and processing facilities in the UK are unprepared to handle compostable plastics.

Story
The Kii coffee factory, managed by the Rungeto cooperative, sources cherries from local members, ensuring top-quality production in Kirinyaga, Kenya. Positioned near Mount Kenya, approximately 190 km from Nairobi, the region's volcanic soil fosters ideal coffee cultivation conditions.
Unlike our Central and South American programmes, establishing direct relationships in Kenya is complex due to numerous stakeholders and variables. Each factory is owned by its farmer members, who choose where to sell their cherries based on price and convenience, leading to fluctuating memberships.
Factories sell coffee either through local auctions for quality-based pricing, or via marketing agents for export, subject to annual negotiations. Management turnover every three years adds further uncertainty, challenging direct relationship establishment.
