VOLCANO COFFEE WORKS
Workspace customers from Parkhall Business Centre
Tonight you will be drinking a single-origin Brazilian coffee with notes of plum, hazelnut, dark chocolate and toffee in milk. This coffee directly funds their ''Sombra'' project, an Agroforestry project in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sombra aims to reconfigure the conventional full-sun production system to bring “sombra” to coffee plantations. It is a 5 year experimental shaded-growing model in a 15-hectare plot area at Mió land, to be populated with over 60,000 trees and coffee plants.
The focus is developing a highly sustainable and integrated management of different plant species to protect the area from threatening weather conditions, recover soil health and improve yield from the area.
Volcano Coffee Works began 18 years ago with founder Kurt Stewart driven by a mission to introduce better coffee to more people. Committed to innovation and sustainability, Volcano prioritises buying premium beans, paying farmers above Fairtrade rates, roasting in small batches, and pioneering eco-friendly practices like specialtycoffee pods and becoming a B Corp. Their independent ethos fuels partnerships with like-minded individuals, from farmers to baristas, while championing coffee’s potential to positively impact people and the planet.

Belu is a drinks business that thinks differently. Their mineral water and filtration systems are market leading for sustainability and as a social enterprise, they invest 100% of profit in their purpose: ‘to change the way the world sees water.’ That means investing in carbon reduction and circular economy, supporting UK climate resilience and biodiversity projects and giving all net profits (£5.8m to date) to WaterAid to help bring clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to communities worldwide.
Belu minimise environmental impact by using recycled materials, choosing not to export and aligning with the PAS 2060 framework. So choosing Belu makes a real difference.
