Last year we were able to sell more Grown by Women

Last year we were able to sell more Grown by Women coffee than ever before, in such an unstable year for all we are so grateful. This all goes towards empowering female co-ops and the voices who lead their incredible hard work. 👌

As we head out of summer here in the UK the start of the new Colombian harvest with Anei' women farmers is just around the corner, the beautiful Sierra.
Coffee harvests have presented extra difficulties this year due to Covid, but as a valuable export for these farmers, it is essential.

An important message and an equally great picture

An important message and an equally great picture of our honey 😍

@fairtrade_at_stmichaels July the 10th is bizarrely named 'Don't Step on a Bee' Day. 🐝🐝🐝
.
It is vital we take care to maintain bee populations, pollination and honey production because bumblebees are great pollinators, and therefore have a key role in producing much of the food that we eat. Through the pollination of many commercial crops such as tomatoes, peas, apples and strawberries, insects are estimated to contribute over £400 million per annum to the UK economy and €14.2 billion per annum to the EU economy. If bumblebee and other insect pollinator declines continue, the extremely high cost of pollinating these plants by other means could significantly increase the cost of fruit and vegetables.

It’s fair to say that the pancake game for a lot of people has gotten a little better over isolation. These vegan versions have some of our Organic Hispaniola Cocoa powder added to give it a little malty taste. 👌🏼.

We may have lost the weather for it, but we were making a very simple Cold Brew over the weekend. ☀️🍹🏠
•
Most people are owners of a cafetiere or French press here but did you know it easily doubles up as a way of making cold brew? It’s so simple too! 😊
•
Grind your coffee to a coarse grind setting, slightly coarser than normal cafetiere grind, or use one of our ready ground packs which will be perfect too!
•
We would use a ratio of around 6:1 for coffee and water. We used Around 160g of coffee for 1 litre of water but you can adjust this depending on taste and desires. 👍🏼
•
Add 1 litre of water into the cafetiere, onto the coffee grounds, we recommend using filtered water as the taste will be much cleaner, gently use the back of a spoon to make sure the coffee is fully submerged, be gentle. Cover the jug and place in the fridge for 24-48 hours. ⏱
•
The timing in the fridge is dependent on how concentrated you want the coffee to be, strength 💪🏼 and how much of a rush you’re in. We kept ours in for around 30 hours total!
•
Place the plunger into the jug and press down, as normal. Decant the cold brew into another jug or spare bottle and store in the fridge.
•
You could add Ice, sparkling water, a slice of lemon, or even orange to add to that refreshing taste! 🍋⛱
•
Let’s hope the weather get’s back to cold brew temperatures. 🙄

Brewing at home Friday. 🏠☕️☺️.
•
This time we’re branching out into the V60 method here with some really basic equipment. A lot of the time there’s a lot of technical talk around this practice. It really doesn’t have to be that way on a basic level, we think
•
A lot of people use scales to measure out water in and water added, admittedly this does make life a lot easier and precise to make the best cup, and it’s what we’ll show here, but it can be done without, just be sure to measure out 250 ml into your kettle and follow as closely as possible with the directions below.👌🏼.
•
Fold your paper filter and pop it into the V60 funnel, this should be on top of your serving jug. Rinse out the filter by pouring hot water through it, get rid of this excess water in the jug.
•
Place the ground coffee (15g) roughly a tablespoon, into the filter paper, shake flat and even.
•
Place the jug and V60 on top of the scales. Start the timer ⏱ and covering all coffee, start to pour in fifty grams (1/5th) of the water. Leave this for 30 seconds, then pour in a further 100g of water, (half of the kettle at this point) pour in concentric cirlces into the coffee, not around the filter. ☝🏼.
•
After 60 seconds pour in 50g of the water. (Half of the water left)
•
After 90 seconds add the final 50g of the water. Now let it drip until finished!
•
If you’ve found that the coffee has come through quickly then you probably need a finer grind and vice versa if it’s been held up and slow then make it a little courser. We drank ours with some raspberry chocolate 🍫 a perfect combo! 😁☀️
