  • About Raw Material

    We’re a social enterprise using specialty coffee to drive change. Raw Material works with producers in Colombia, Timor-Leste, Burundi, Rwanda, and Mexico to build fair, stable, and profitable supply chains. We focus on impact over hype - helping the right communities improve quality, increase incomes, and create lasting opportunities through trade.

    How we package
    our coffees

    Barrier packaging designed for specialty coffee.

    We use Ecotact bags because they offer high-barrier protection against oxygen, moisture, and external contaminants. This helps preserve the quality, aroma, and flavour potential of your green coffee during transport and storage. They're trusted by top producers and importers worldwide.

    Heat-Sealed for Maximum Protection

    Every bag is professionally heat sealed at our warehouse to lock in freshness. This creates a secure seal that prevents exposure to air or humidity - keeping your green coffee stable, even over long periods.

    Convenient Resealable Zip Closures

    Once opened, each bag has a resealable zip to help you store and protect the rest of your coffee between roasts. It’s a simple way to reduce waste and maintain freshness - especially helpful for home roasters or sampling.

    Portion sizes for any roaster.

    Whether you're roasting at home or running a production line, we've got a size to suit. Choose from 0.5kg, 1kg, or 5kg bags - all packed with the same level of care. Smaller volumes make it easy to try new coffees without the commitment.

    Responsible packaging choices.

    Our bags are made from Graded 7 multi-layer recyclable plastic. While they may not go in your home recycling bin, they are accepted by specialist facilities. More importantly, they reduce waste by dramatically extending the shelf life of your green coffee.

    Your questions, answered

    Where does Raw Material work?

    Raw Material works in Colombia, Timor-Leste, Burundi, Rwanda, and Mexico. Each origin has a tailored approach, based on where they can deliver the greatest impact.

    How are producers paid?

    Raw Material pays consistent, transparent prices that reflect the cost of production. In many cases, producers receive second and third payments based on quality, with systems in place to ensure traceability and accuracy.

    What kind of coffees are available?

    Coffees range from community lots to more exclusive selections. Quality is built at origin through training, infrastructure, and community-led quality control systems.

    Are these coffees organic or certified?

    In some origins, like Mexico, many producers use low-input, organic farming practices. Certification varies by region, and Raw Material’s focus is on building sustainable systems that work in practice, regardless of labels.

    How does Raw Material ensure impact is actually delivered?

    Impact is measured using a theory-based evaluation model, which looks at outcomes across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. This includes comparing results with credible counterfactuals to understand what’s working, where, and why.

    What makes this sourcing model different from others?

    Raw Material doesn’t chase ‘the best’ coffees. They work in places where the need is highest and help communities build the systems to consistently produce high-quality coffee - with the value staying closer to the farm.
