CLO roasts specialty coffee in the UK on a simple premise: the farmers get looked after as well as the beans do. That means direct relationships at origin, a rotating single-origin list — Rwanda Huye Mountain, Kenya AB Gura, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Brazil — and a Produced by Women range that gets its own shelf rather than a footnote. Packaging is eco-conscious, there's a subscription if you want it, and they go further than most roasters in telling origin stories, making documentaries and podcasts about the farmers and baristas behind the cup. Their wholesale arm trades as CLO Trade.
