ABOUT

ChuCho celebrates the coffees of Central and South America. 

The name for the blend was inspired by our sourcing trips to these amazing growing regions. We would often hear coffee farmers greet their dogs as ‘Chucho’ - a playful nickname that seemed perfect for our four legged friends. 

Created using speciality coffees from fantastic producers, our ChuCho blend comes from single estates and farms, always fully traceable and sustainably sourced. 

ChuCho is suitable for all brew methods.

ChuCho currently comprises a blend of coffees form Daterra estate in Minas Gerais Brazil, Agricole Co-operative in Huehuetenango, Guatemala and a group of small holders working with Frontera co-operative in San Ignacio, Peru

 

Daterra Estate

Daterra is a family owned-and-run estate based on a belief that business can work alongside nature in a sustainability-focused way.

Daterra Farm have been innovators since they were founded. Owned by Luis Pascoal, they have been on a constant drive to improve. 

Luis’ family had always been engaged with social projects in Brazil, even founding an education foundation that works with kids from underprivileged backgrounds. Having immigrated to Brazil from Italy, and having made their successful business and wealth there, the family were very grateful and wanted to use their privilege to give back to the people.

These social and environmental values were so deeply ingrained in the family, Daterra was going to be no different, from being the first farm in the world to package green coffee in vacuum sealed bags (2003), a critical quality innovation to reforestation work meaning they were also the first farm in Brazil to be Rainforest Alliance certified.

Daterra believe in balance with the earth, giving as much as they take - 50% of their estate is dedicated to environmental preservation. Alongside this they have UTZ and IBD Organic certifications, have also created their own environmental preservation standards and are a B Corp.

Agricola Co-operative

Agricola Co-operative are a community of farmers founded by Anacelto Martinez and his son Mynor, who is the head agronomist. Starting with just 22 members the group now comprise 56 men and 14 women - all pooling resources and working together to share their coffee with the world. 

The coffee is hand-picked, washed and then sun-dried. The housing here is perched on the hillsides - you can often see the flat roofs being used as patios to dry the coffee under the HueHue sunshine.
