Description

Mayan Gold is Cafedirect’s more recent addition to its single origin range of distinct flavours from unique places. Mayan Gold is a smooth and dark coffee from the vibrant Southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca in Mexico. The all-new CafeDirect Mayan Gold coffee has a delicately smooth coffee caramel taste with a sweet finish that is common among darker roasted coffee's. Mayan Gold has recently been named the Independents Best Buy in ethical coffee, plus recommended as the best Fairtrade coffee swap.

Their goals are to ensure the small-hold farmers worldwide are supported and their resources are maximised. By putting growers and farmers at the heart of the business, their lives and communities can improve. I always like to start my day with a cup of good quality coffee, so I’m always on the lookout for new blends to try. I recently came across Cafedirect who are an award winning UK based company. They sell premium small-batch roasted coffee from their roastery in London Fields. However, not only do they offer a wide range of hot beverages, they also have big ambitions to make a difference. It’s produced by the Ejidos San Fernanado cooperative. Crops are grown at high altitude using sustainable organic agricultural methods in a thriving farming community, which was founded in 1984. Over time, the cooperative could see how climate change was damaging to crops, so they moved on from conventional farming methods. The conditions are ideal for growing quality specialty coffee. Cafedirect’s mission is to change lives and build communities through inspirational, sustainable business by making great tasting hot drinks direct from growers. The San Fernando cooperative holds the same mission as Cafedirect which is to improve the lives and productivity of its producers. The cooperative has transitioned over the years, with its founding members in the 80s recognising a need to evolve their production methods to produce better quality coffee whilst farming in a way that respects their delicate ecosystems.

Grown to perfection

You can buy CafeDirect Mayan Gold coffee with a clear conscience, knowing that part of your money is going towards those who need it most. The company focus on key areas. They are 100% Fairtrade which means farmers are paid a minimum Fairtrade price plus an additional premium on top. 50% of their profits also go towards Producers Direct, which is a charity led by farmers to improve their profits and livelihoods. And they also use more sustainable farming methods to adapt to climate change.

Cafedirect have a good selection of ground coffee, beans and instant (as well as teas and hot chocolate). They have an organic range, exclusive limited edition coffees, decaf and an espresso range. Quality is just as much of a priority to CafeDirect as its ethics, and this superb Mayan Gold coffee is no exception with it being 100% Arabica, Fairtrade and delicious. I later made a cafe latte with the Mayan Gold (without sugar), and it was lovely to drink in the afternoon. It is a good quality coffee with a natural sweetness and no bitterness at all. The Mayan Gold is actually described by green coffee buyer, Matt McDonald as a ‘coffee that you can drink all day’, and I would have to agree. It doesn’t taste strong at all and it’s full of flavour. Coffee SubscriptionsAs farming methods have evolved, the use of organic fertilisers have increased. The reduction in pesticides are better for the environment and allow better quality coffee. I chose to try the recently launched Cafedirect Mayan Gold from Southern Mexico. It’s a strength 5 smooth dark roast made with 100 percent organic arabica beans. Through this, San Fernando has moved and transitioned from using conventional (non-organic) farming methods to slowly adapting and integrating natural fertilisers after seeing how climate change was damaging their crops and making them vulnerable to leaf rust. The cooperative discovered that incorporating combinations of replanting some of their crops at higher altitudes, practicing sustainable agricultural techniques and using natural organic inputs created the perfect conditions for creating a speciality quality coffee and were able to position themselves as leading specialists in growing organic coffee making them the perfect fit for Cafedirect.

The Mayan Gold coffee by CafeDirect is a deliciously dark roasted coffee, strength 5, that has a fantastically unique flavour that embodies the vibrancy of its origin.

Their new Mayan Gold coffee is organic and made from 100% Arabica beans. It has a sweet and smooth taste with notes of caramel, brown sugar and hazelnut with more subtle notes of maple syrup, milk chocolate, nuts, green apple and peanuts and has a strength of 5. Matt McDonald, green coffee buyer at Cafedirect described Mayan Gold as a “coffee that you can drink all day”. The NEW CafeDirect Mayan Gold is a great tasting 100% Organic, Fairtrade and Arabica coffee from Chiapas, Mexico. Founded in 1991, their aim was to find a better way to do trade and improve livelihoods following the international coffee crisis. With an interest in climate and communities, they became the UK’s first certified B Corporation coffee company. They act to be transparent in meeting the needs of the workers, environment and customers.
