About Foundation Coffee Roasters | Bufla Kilenso | Ethiopia
Foundation coffee roasters are an independent roastery and equipment supplier based in St Ives, Cornwall. The co-founders Marco and Jack, are friends, passionate surfers and adventurers who love where they live. Their delicious coffee is roasted on their impressive 15kg Giesen roaster. They began their coffee journey with a mission to create quality and high-grade speciality coffee while at the same time using the best possible ethical practices that have a minimal impact on the environment. This transcends from the sustainable relationships they build at source all the way through to the omnidegradable and home compostable coffee bags that they showcase their coffee. They focus on honesty and transparency throughout their business – two things that we hold extremely important too. Their involvement at origin stems from these two ethics as they prefer to deal with coffee farms and mills directly. It is a super important step that more and more roasters across the world are making. Although it is hard and requires time and money, there is no substituting the value that is gained when you can see exactly where the coffee is coming from, speak to the people that grow it and nurture sustainable long-lasting relationships. All of this knowledge can then be passed onto the consumers to better educate them on the issues in coffee-growing regions of the world. The work that is put into their sustainable sourcing of coffee is carried into their local community in St Ives where they participate in the community orchard – donating the chaff (a byproduct of coffee roasting) to help mulch the fledgeling apple trees. They also send coffee grounds to the New yard restaurant to use in their walled garden.

What To Expect
The most distinctive flavour notes found in all Sidamo coffees are lemon and citrus, with bright crisp acidity. Ethiopia is the world’s 7th largest producer of coffee and Africa’s top producer. Half of the coffee is consumed by Ethiopians, and the country leads the continent in domestic consumption.
