Certified Organic by the Soil Association, George Street Blend is our go-to house coffee. Strong enough to shine through milk, George Street is carefully roasted to highlight the coffees' robust, natural flavours while also pushing through a deep sweetness that helps create a syrupy body. This version of our mainstay blend pairs two cooperative-led, organic-certified lots from long-standing partners: COPROCAEL in La Encarnación, Ocotepeque, on the western edge of Honduras, and Cooperativa La Prosperidad de Chirinos in Cajamarca, northern Peru. The result is a balanced, milk-friendly cup with the deep chocolate sweetness, gentle berry acidity and syrupy body we want anchoring our house blend. COPROCAEL (Cooperativa de Productores de Café la Encarnación Limitada) was founded in 2000 in La Encarnación, Ocotepeque, in western Honduras. The cooperative supports more than 260 small-scale organic coffee producers across the hillsides surrounding the community, working at altitudes between 1,100 and 1,750 metres above sea level. Member farmers cultivate a mix of Caturra, Catuaí, Catimor and Lempira varieties on plots that average little more than a few hectares each. COPROCAEL is Fair Trade and USDA Organic certified, and runs its own composting plant that turns coffee pulp into organic fertiliser, closing the loop on production waste. Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera La Prosperidad de Chirinos, founded in 1968 in Chirinos, Cajamarca, Peru, unites over 800 smallholder farmers cultivating around 2,200 hectares of high-altitude Arabica coffee (1,300-2,000m). Members grow Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, and Pache, and the cooperative holds Fairtrade, USDA Organic, Rainforest Alliance, Smithsonian Bird Friendly and Regenerative Agriculture certifications. Together, both cooperatives represent exactly the kind of producer relationship we want anchoring our house blend: cooperative-led, organic, traceable, and quietly excellent.
