Our premium coffee beans are directly sourced and sustainably traced from a family run farm in Brazil.
Green beans are imported directly from the farm in Brazil and then delivered to our roastery in Ipswich. Once they reach our roastery, the beans are roasted by veterans, ex-blue light service or ex-offender volunteers.
Roasted beans then go through our vigorous quality control checks, which involve cupping protocol and tasting to ensure every batch meets all standards.
The coffee cupping score developed goes from 0 to 100 and only coffees scoring 80 points or above get the “specialty coffee” badge of honour. Our coffee scores a 83 speciality grading.
Our coffee is Rainforest Alliance and UTZ certified. The certification stands for more sustainable farming.
Beans are then bagged and labelled, ready for distribution to sites across the UK.
We supply coffee at sites across Suffolk, Surrey, London, Bristol, Birmingham, Kent, Glasgow, Yorkshire, Manchester, Leicestershire, Essex, Staffordshire, Salisbury, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
We work hard to use sustainable and environmentally friendly 100% paper-based for our cups and packaging that are glue and plastic free.
What’s the significance of coffee?
Coffee is the common ground. It can be a distraction, a focal point and a vehicle for conversation.
Coffee doesn’t exist naturally in its end state – it takes time and dedication to roast, grind and prepare it. Taking coffee through the process from bean to cup is an exercise in mindfulness and therapy that also takes skill and discernment.
At Combat2Coffee, it’s all about the coffee. But then it’s not really about the coffee at all. It’s about what coffee can enable.
