Collection: Coaltown

Coaltown's ethos is to create delicious coffee and do good along with it.

In 2019, Coaltown became one of the first b-Corp certified coffee companies in the UK, which means they are morally and legally committed to prioritising responsibility to the environment and society, from the experts who produce their coffee at the roastery to the baristas who brew it. They have met the highest standards of environmental and social practices, and are now committed to upholding and furthering these. Certified B Corporations, in the simplest of terms, are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

Coaltown plan to promote specialty coffee as a means of providing industry and community to post industrial mining towns.

Supply chain

Coaltown prefer to deconstruct traditional supply chains and develop direct trade value chains. They are able to forge strong relationships with producers across the globe. This helps develop transparency to ensure that every party involved can provide value and share equity. 

Third wave coffee culture is all about quality and traceability; direct trade relationships make it easier to connect consumers with producers. Intimate logistics help reduce the complexity and middle men associated with traditional supply chains, delivering better value to customers. Mutual trust & respect are the vital components that underpin their sourcing programme.

Coaltown pride themselves on investing in direct trade coffee deals to support minority and more remote growers. The best coffee in the world grows in some of the most remote regions to access. The ideal microclimate, altitude, soil and surrounding vegetation is not easy to come by or maintain for the varieties of coffee we love to drink. Coaltown feel it's important that these locations and the people looking after them are treated with the respect they deserve.
