Redemption Roasters, Santa's Yard Beans 250g

This Christmas blend, Santa’s Yard, is sourced from Colombia and Rwanda. The combination of these coffees creates a blend which is bursting with notes of juicy red apple, toffee, and cinnamon. The perfect blend to get you into the festive spirit. 

The coffee from Colombia – Sembradores De Vida – which translates to Sowers of Life, is part of a project that is very close to the work we do at Redemption Roasters, with a wholehearted belief in rehabilitation. For its producers, coffee is a means to stability and a peaceful life in the municipality of Ortega, which has historically been subject to devastating conflict and drug production.

The second part of this blend is sourced from the Gisheke Washing Station, within the Nyamasheke District in Rwanda. We work with Raw Material, who reinvest all profits beyond their  operational costs back into the communities from which the coffees come. Also working alongside Muraho Trading Company, they help co-operatives increase their quality of production, fetch a higher price for their coffee, and introduce them to new markets.

This winter, we are showcasing an artist whose work has come through from Community Arts Projects UK, and is displayed on the front label of Santa’s Yard.

Our partnership with CAP UK, started by displaying their art on the walls of our coffee shops across London, and we are very excited to now share this piece entitled ‘High in the Mountains’, painted in HMP Send. 

Redemption Roasters produce top-quality coffees whilst training and rehabilitating prisoners. Their roastery is inside the walls of HMP The Mount and their network of barista academies operate in institutions across the country.
