OUR STORY

Jaju Beans and Leaves founded in 2009   was inspired by my  travels and the love of a great brew. 

Working with  talented roasters and expert tea masters who search, source and validate our products,  our focus  is premium  craft- roasted  coffee and luxury loose leaf tea.

We offer the highest quality loose leaf teas available and supply only whole or broken young leaves. We never do dust! Our teas are sourced through member organisations of the Ethical Tea Partnership who aim to monitor and improve the lives of tea workers and create a thriving tea industry that is socially just and environmentally sustainable.

Our coffees are sourced - only directly -  from small farms, estates and co-operatives and expertly hand roasted and cup-tasted for optimum quality. Some  certified organic, most  cultivated that way, many  shade grown and all  ethically sourced.

When it comes to Fair Trade we feel that its limitations and even its disadvantages  do not warrant this route.  Instead we choose to  support direct trade  and so  prefer whenever possible to offer coffee from those farms that have direct relationships with our bulk suppliers. This provides a much more effective method. Coffee farmers and growers are paid  a premium price and are duly rewarded for their skill and expertise,  whilst  we get to enjoy  top quality coffee. Win win. 

We are based on the lovely Sussex coast  and can be found at  various local farmers markets, festivals and  events in and around Sussex . Check out the  events page for full details.
