Conscious with coffee
A Roaster We Trust
Culainn and Lea are the founders of Conscious with Coffee, and are very passionate about their unique ethos to sourcing coffee. Their approach is to create supply chains that are sustainable, equitable and financially viable for every actor involved. In practical terms, they have set up direct relationships with Peruvian specialty coffee farmers who they hope to work with for many years to come.
On their website you'll find transparent information about pricing from the farmer all the way to their warehouse, which helps educate coffee lovers about the end-to-end process of sourcing coffee – definitely worth a read. That level of transparency is exactly what we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes.
Dos Pueblos
This banging house espresso is sourced directly (via direct trade) from two small scale producers in Peru. One family, the Castro family, is based in the Andes Mountains and recently transitioned from producing sugar cane spirit to specialty coffee. The other producer is actually made up of five producers from the Santa Tera District, who worked in partnership with a bee conservation NGO, Bee Cause We Care 365.
This Dos Pueblos coffee from Conscious featured in the RISE coffee box in June 2023. An absolutely banging coffee, and our most traceable yet.
Coffees like this are exactly why RISE Coffee Box exists. Every month, we blind taste 25-30 coffees from independent specialty coffee roasters across the UK – from transparency-driven names like Conscious with Coffee to standout roasters we've discovered along the way – and choose only the very best to feature in our coffee subscription boxes. If you love discovering new specialty coffee, sustainably sourced and roasted by people who genuinely care about where it comes from, a RISE coffee subscription is the easiest way to explore it all from home.
