We work with a small number of trusted import partners to source coffees that are fully traceable, fairly traded and roasted with intention in Stonehouse, UK.

For every FOCCO coffee, we can tell you who grew it, how it was processed and why we chose that particular lot for our line-up.

How we source our coffees

We don’t chase every origin or every trend. Instead, we build a focused menu and choose partners who share our values.

For our core range we buy green coffee in larger volumes (full bags) from importers like Covoya. They work directly with producers, cooperatives and mills, and provide full lot information – from farm level details to harvest and processing.

This allows us to select coffees that are:

  • Clean and consistent in the cup
  • Traceable back to farm or cooperative
  • Suitable for long-term relationships, not one-off purchases

On top of our core range, we occasionally roast smaller microlots – short runs of more unusual or expressive coffees, released in limited quantities.

Traceability

“Traceable” for us is not a marketing word – it means we can follow a coffee from the farm to your bag. For each FOCCO lot we record:

  • Country, region and specific farm, mill or cooperative
  • Producer name or group
  • Altitude, varieties and processing method
  • Harvest season and lot size
  • Import partner and where the coffee is stored in the UK

We currently work through importers rather than claiming “direct trade”. That way we can access high quality, well documented coffees without compromising on logistics, storage or payment to producers.
