Ana runs the LaREB cooperative with the support of Herbert and other great producers with the aim to support smaller or less experienced members with production advice and professional quality control. They also export coffee directly from the farmers which secures the supply chain and transfers more value back to producers. Anas’ coffees with LaREB contribute to 40% of the money and 35% of the coffees produced by LaREB!

Ana comes from a coffee producing family in Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia. This area is known as the Coffee Axis of Colombia as it is the traditional high-volume production area of the country. Ana’s family owns and manages 3 farms around the town of Pereira.

Up until very recently, coffee production on the Mustafá family farms has always been high-volume commercial coffees. Ana's interest in specialty coffee and the access to the specialty market that she now has through the LaREB project has driven her to start producing specialty grade lots on her farms with the goal of converting to majority specialty production.

Ana has taken it upon herself to direct specialised harvesting, separation and processing protocols for the lots she produces on her family farms and has begun releasing high-value, specialty coffees in an area of Colombia typically known for commodity coffee.

GRIND TYPES EXPLAINED

Whole bean: Whole bean coffee allows you to grind your own coffee right before brewing, to keep the freshness. Some coffee machines have a grinder built-in, or you can buy one separately.

French Press / Cafetiere: French Press or Cafetiere coffee uses a coarse grind. Grounds are separated from the coffee and there is no filter involved, so the oils from the coffee remain.

Filter / V60 / Kalita: Filter coffee grind is medium, like sea salt, and is made by pushing high-pressure water through fine coffee grounds, where the brew drips through a filter.

AeroPress: AeroPress coffee uses a fine grind, and creates a single serving of coffee that drips through a filter to separate the coffee from the grounds.

Espresso / Moka pot: Espresso coffee uses a fine, powdery grind. It has a lower ground to water ratio, and is usually thicker and more intense.

HOW MUCH DO I NEED?

A 250g bag of coffee makes around 15 cups - depending on your personal preferences.

One cup per day: 250g every 2 weeks or 1Kg every 4 weeks.

Two cups per day: 2 x 250g every 2 weeks or 1Kg every 4 weeks.

Three or four cups per day: 1Kg every 2 weeks or 2Kg every 4 weeks.

ROASTING DAYS

We roast every week on Tuesdays and ship Wednesdays and Fridays.

We believe that the fresher the coffee is, the better it tastes. All coffee orders received by 12:00pm on Tuesday will be roasted, bagged in our recyclable pouches and shipped the following day. This means that the coffee you receive from us will be as fresh as possible and lastingly delicious.

BENEFITS OF BUYING A KILO BAG

Upgrading to a kilo bag enables us to pass on the cost savings to you and give you more value per bag. On average, you’ll save over £6 on your coffee when you buy a kilo.

1Kg makes 50+ cups of coffee and uses less packaging compared to buying 4x 250g smaller bags - better for your pocket and planet.

100% RECYCLABLE BAGS

We care for coffee drinkers and the planet, too. Our coffee bags are 100% recyclable via kerbside or soft plastics collection points at larger stores of major supermarkets.

The bags are also produced in a carbon-neutral manner by the manufacturer.
