More Than Just a Brew: The Story Behind Our Original Allsopp & Allsopp Coffee
Here at Allsopp & Allsopp, we're always looking for ways to go the extra mile, to offer something truly special. Today, we're proud to share something that embodies that very spirit.
Our very own, unique blend of coffee, crafted in partnership with our incredible partners at RAW Coffee.
This isn't just about a great cup of coffee, this project is deeply rooted in a shared vision of making a positive impact and highlighting our corporate social responsibility (CSR) to make every sip meaningful.
Authentic connection is our superpower
For us, creating a unique coffee blend was about more than just a distinctive Allsopp & Allsopp taste. It was about forging a genuine connection right at the source. The team at RAW personally selected the beans and met the incredible communities and farmers who grow them.
A journey of flavour: The red bourbon story
We worked with RAW Coffee to select an old-fashioned variant called Red Bourbon. This isn't your everyday coffee bean. It's known for its cup quality and structure which means you can honestly and accurately pick out each layer of its profile.
The lightbulb moment: A blend with purpose
We’ve been huge fans of RAW Coffee for years, stocking their blends exclusively in our office baristas. We’ve built a real relationship with their team over the years. So, when we thought about creating something truly special for our clients and team - something uniquely Allsopp & Allsopp, RAW Coffee was the natural first call.
They got to work creating a bespoke blend just for us, but it quickly became more than just creating a signature coffee. Through our chats, we learned about the coffee-growing community in Rwanda and a real need for better water treatment. That's when the lightbulb went off - a chance to partner not just on incredible coffee, but on making a real difference together.
The heart of our coffee
The story of our partnership is deeply rooted in Rwanda - and what stood out to us was their inspiring spirit of rebuilding and the vital role coffee plays in the livelihoods of small farmers. The nation also has a unique initiative called "Umuganda," a mandatory community cleanup held on the last Saturday of every month which contributes to Rwanda's amazing reputation as one of the cleanest countries in Africa!
As part of our commitment to this community, we're also incredibly proud to have supported the development of a vital water treatment system. This initiative helps the coffee producers manage the byproducts of coffee processing responsibly, preventing pollution of local waterways and ensuring a healthier environment for everyone.
A proud partnership
We are incredibly proud of this project and of course our unique Allsopp & Allsopp coffee blend in partnership with RAW Coffee.
This project is a testament to our partnership and our shared commitment to quality, sustainability and the power of making a positive impact.
