KISS THE HIPPO ROASTERY LIMITED

Company description

FIRST CARBON NEUTRAL COFFEE ROASTERY IN THE UK. Our Organic Certified Roastery is powered using 100% renewable energy, which means all of our coffees are roasted carbon neutral. THE WORLD’S MOST ECO-FRIENDLY ROASTER We roast all of our coffee using state-of-the-art Loring Smart Roaster. Energy efficient and almost emission free, it’s the most environmentally friendly roaster in its class. ORGANIC CERTIFIED ROASTERY Our roastery is Organic Certified by the Soil Association, which has worked to create a more sustainable and transparent food system in Britain and abroad since 1946. AWARD-WINNING COFFEE TEAM Our coffee team is made up of award-winning coffee experts. Some of the most recent titles our team has been awarded include: 1st UK Barista Championship 2020 1st UK Barista Championship 2019 1st UK Barista Championship 2018 DIRECT TRADE COFFEE We build strong bonds with our producers by working with them directly, and visiting them at least every 12 months. 100% TRANSPARENCY FROM FARM TO CUP The world grows more complex by the day, but ethical coffee shouldn’t have to. From farm to cup, you can rely on us to share every step your coffee takes on its journey to you. WE BELIEVE IN FAIRER TRADE Coffee producers shoulder the heaviest price pressure in this industry, and we think that needs to change. In order to innovate, they need to be compensated. That’s why we’re dedicated to paying at least 50% above the Fairtrade price for all our coffees. DOUBLING DONATIONS FOR WORLD COFFEE RESEARCH The future of coffee depends on the research we do today. For every kilo of coffee we buy, we donate double the amount that WCR has requested of roasters in the industry. GROWING THE FUTURE OF COFFEE WITH KEW GARDENS We are the first coffee roaster to attach our growth to the funding of the Kew Gardens coffee research program, and we are proud to donate to their initiative with every kilo of coffee we buy.
