Latte Love for Yallah

Kayley put us on to Yallah Coffee this week and were head over heels with it. Weve always had a taste for good coffee at Finish and promote responsible buying with a fair trade sustainable origin. We didnt think wed be easily persuaded to change from our usual but after trying Yallah were smitten.

What really got us hooked was Yallahs own love story. Kayley told us how her friend Rich Blake founded his small coffee enterprise in Beatrice, (a now personified) 1950s handmade, Austrian, Drum Roaster and so began the love of the coffee-roasting life. They found her in early 2014 and spent 9 months restoring her to full glory. Beatrice the Roaster is now used to roast all of their single origin beans. In the months spent restoring the roaster, Yallah were also out building relationships with coffee farms in Morroco and Peru, meeting the farmers in person and sealing deals to make sure they were paying fair rates which were above the market average for their coffee beans.

We wanted to share this as its pretty much an unheard of approach that wed like to see more of across coffee production particularly the responsible sourcing and good relationships with farmers that often go amiss in big chains and brands!

You can read more about their story and the theory behind their beans on their website.

Come in for a cup and taste for yourself, well be drinking it from here on out!
