Coffee with a social purpose

Mozzo Coffee has introduced the Life-saving coffee collection as part of its ongoing partnership with the Rebuild Women’s Hope (RWH) Cooperative in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The single-origin range, in a striking green bag, includes espresso, filter ground, whole beans, Nespresso-compatible 100% recyclable coffee pods as well as brew-in-cup filter coffee bags. Together with RWH, Mozzo has pledged to raise £47,000 by donating 100% of the profits from the range to the Hospital of Hope project in eastern DRC.

Price 12 x 500g bags of espresso beans, £108

Oat milk for a dairy-free option

Wild Oats’ new Barista Blend oak milk is one of the latest vegan dairy alternatives on the market. Created using high quality British oats sourced from a co-operative of farms, Barista Blend has no added sugar or sweeteners, no powdering and few miles travelled to get to the cup. The oat milk isn’t overly sweet or bitter but compliments espresso-based specialty coffee.

Price 12 x 1 litre cartons, £28.80
