About Conscious Coffee

Culainn and Lea are the team behind Conscious. They began their journey into coffee in South America, building relationships with a small number of producers, with whom they work today. They were introduced to all the skills involved in coffee production, and saw the incredible amount of work it takes to produce speciality coffee. Visit Conscious With Coffee’s Website Since day one, Culainn and Lea have wanted to work in speciality coffee because they see it as an avenue for working with marginalised producers to reimagine and shape supply chains so that they are sustainable, equitable and financially viable for every actor involved. They focus on building long-term relationships with each of their producing partners directly, and developing opportunities together. Paying high prices for their coffee (and being completely transparent about what they pay) is only part of the story; they consider the producer’s specific needs and strive to create tailored support accordingly – including investing in their production processes, and providing educational support so that they can together improve on quality and productivity year on year.

Coffee Origin

The El Diamante coffee from Conscious originates from the San José de Lourdes district of Peru.

This micro-lot was produced by a small group of producers (Deiner Quispe, Danuiel Nunez and Roger Chilcon) whose farms (sitting at 1700 – 1850 MASL), surround the village of El Diamante in the San José de Lourdes district of northern Peru. Founded just 35 years ago, El Diamante quickly gained a reputation for producing exceptional-quality coffee. We love the vibrant acidity typical of these coffees, which expresses itself as forest fruits and blackberry in the cup.

In 2023 and 2024, Conscious visited El Diamante to better understand its people, coffee, and culture, and we’ve built close working relationships with several coffee professionals there. This community lot was created with the support of Collective Bean and Roger Chilcon, a resident of El Diamante who helped them source the coffees. Together, they cupped samples of the producers’ coffees in order to determine which batches could be consolidated, based on their quality and flavour profile. They then cupped the proposed blend and agreed the price with Collective Bean.
