Santo Coffee is grown at Camocim Estate in Brazil’s Espirito Santo. It is pulped naturally allowing the flavours of hazelnut, vanilla and milk chocolate to ‘shine through’ once it has been roasted. BM has 700 employees serving 40,000 customers across 90 clients in London, the Home Counties and the South-East.
Northampton-based Bella Barista will source, roast, pack and distribute the coffee on BM's behalf. To highlight the new organic coffee on offer and get customer feedback, BM is hosting coffee pop ups across the business.
Miguel Camara, head of coffee & tea at BM, said: “We’re looking at every aspect of our service to see where we can be more sustainable, which led to us forging ahead with our agenda to source organic coffee.
“It’s important that we support the growth of sustainable farming by leading the change from the consumer side so farmers see the benefit in switching to more organic farming practices, including when it comes to coffee. We’re already seeing Santo prove very popular with our customers and expect demand to increase even further once we’ve ‘introduced’ it to everyone through our pop-ups.”
