Traceable, plot-level, EUDR-ready.
The origin story, published.
The EU Deforestation Regulation lands in stages through 2026, and coffee is on the list. We treat traceability as a moral obligation first and a compliance requirement second. This page publishes the underlying data.

EU Deforestation Regulation readiness.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires every operator placing coffee on the EU market to provide plot-level geolocation data and a due diligence statement that the coffee was not grown on land deforested after 31 December 2020.
Our position: this should have always been the standard. As of Q2 2026, 100% of the green coffee we broker to EU buyers is accompanied by GPS coordinates, satellite-imagery verification, and a signed due diligence statement. The coordinates for every partner farm are refreshed each harvest.
For buyers requiring full EUDR-compliant documentation for their own operator statement, we deliver the full data pack (GPS polygons, land-use history, producer declarations) as part of every green coffee contract.
62% women across our producer teams.
Women do the majority of coffee labour across our partner cooperatives and estates, from selective picking through wet milling and hand-sorting at the drying beds. Where women are organised into named sub-lots (as at Long Miles), we buy those lots at a premium and label them accordingly.
- Women-selected microlots labelled and sold separately
- Premium of 15% paid to women-organised sub-lots
- 4 women alumni now senior baristas across our accounts
48 Academy graduates on payroll across East Africa.
Our Academy runs subsidised Foundations cohorts for young baristas from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania. Selected graduates are placed with our wholesale accounts across the region.
- 4 subsidised Foundations cohorts per year
- Job placement across 26 partner cafes
- Alumni network mentoring the next cohorts
