Marcala School Community Project
Our friend Don Fabio Cabellero has responded to his community’s needs for a school that was close to home and close to the parent’s workplace. So he built one! And we were honoured to contribute to this project.
Our values
Community Development & Producer Support
We value the community efforts that go into producing coffee and so we invest in projects that can better both the quality of the coffee and the livelihoods of those working to produce it.
Sinar Moisture Analyser Project
As fun as it might be to measure moisture content of green beans by chewing through dried cherry pods and parchment, we thought a more technology-based tool might be helpful for the team at the ZB Washing Station, Ethiopia.
La Piragua Drying Bed Infrastructure
As part of our commitment to supporting friends and partners at origin, we helped build drying beds and invested towards CM processing infrastructure at La Piragua.
Thageini Drying Beds Infrastructure
We know the Thageini Washing Station can produce coffees of exceptional quality. We wanted to provide the team there with the opportunity to increase their drying capacity to include exceptional natural coffees to their catalogue.
Thageini CM Experiment Equipment
Project Origin committed time and funds towards setting up equipment and experimenting with carbonic maceration techniques in order to explore the Kenyan profiles under a new light.
Tio Juan Solar Drying Beds
Multiple drying beds are required to process a full harvest of coffee, and since we loved Cristian’s naturally processed coffee so much, we needed to make room for him to produce these offerings.
Guji Masina Water Well Infrastructure
Fresh, clean water is essential not only for coffee production, but for life. Project Origin listened to the needs of the community and funded the construction of a well that will last for years to come.
Guji Masina Shade Drying Tents
Project Origin funded drying tents in Masina, Ethiopia in 2019. Shade drying tents provide producers greater control over their drying methods and techniques, allowing curated flavours and profiles to shine.
Our Core Values
Quality
Quality, for us, is more than just a cupping score. We take the relationship of score, cup profile, price and purpose to stamp our Project Origin mark of value on a coffee.
Sustainability
We take economic sustainability seriously. By working with farmers and producers directly, we can help create a sustainable business model that helps them both thrive and produce high quality specialty coffee beans.
Community
We value the community efforts that go into producing coffee and so we invest in projects that can better both the quality of the coffee and livelihoods of those working to produce it.
