When it comes to great coffee, it makes sense to start at the source.
All good relationships, in our opinion, start with a great coffee.
Pavilion X Origin
Our commitment to respecting and supporting producers results in a friendship centred on celebrating exceptional coffee—which is why this partnership with Pavilion hits the sweet spot.This isn’t about fancy jargon or a race to the finish line; this is, quite simply, about outstanding coffee, recognising and sharing the experience, and celebrating each part of its journey, giving credit where credit is due. That respect runs deep.
From the farm, and the producer, to the roast and the packing, each step that connects you to the coffee is considered, focusing on sustainable, responsible choices, and a damn fine coffee in your cup.
“We’re hugely excited to collaborate with Pavilion,” said Tom Sobey, Origin’s Owner and Founder. “Rob and his team share the same commitment to supporting and championing smart, sustainable choices. Like us, their decisions are based on giving back to the community, sourcing with care, and building long-lasting relationships.
”Our House Espresso ‘Acacia’, with Pavilion, showcases our ethos perfectly.
This washed Ethiopian, named after the country’s national tree, celebrates the collaborative spirit in the Gedeb district of the Yirgacheffe region, where 1200 small producers contribute coffee cherries to the Konga washing station.Established in 2002 by Abiot Ageze – a champion of supporting the community through the production of quality coffee – Ageze joined forces with likeminded Mebrehatu Aynalem to establish the Boledu Industrial PLC.
“This blend is a true testament to the benefits of staying true to who we are and what we stand by,” says Freda Yuan, our Director of Coffee. “Ageze and Aynalem – and all the small producers they support – are changing the landscape for the better, focusing on quality control, and fair pricing throughout each step of the coffee’s journey.”
Sourcing such a credible coffee is only one part of a wider commitment to do right, which is why we’re proud to be the only UK roaster offering our coffee in home compostable packaging.
In a material world, we’re all for using the right ones
Three layers of compostable films – sustainability sourced wood pulp, PLA (polylactic acid—a natural polymer created from renewable sources), and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) paper – are laminated together to create a bag that retain freshness and flavour without impacting the environment: everything, including the valve, and zipper, have been certified compostable.
This means that the main components of the bag – those layers of film, will decompose within 12 weeks, which certifies them as TUV Home Compostable. And as for that snazzy branding—we only used plant-based and non-toxic inks, dyes, and glues.
In a world of increasing convenience, we believe some things are worth the wait. Finding the right materials. Sourcing the best beans. Cementing relationships built on trust, respect, and a love of great coffee.
