Lost Sheep Coffee, the Kent based micro-roastery and coffee shop chain, has launched a completely air-tight 100% compostable Nespresso-compatible speciality coffee capsule made from lignin (derived from wood bark).
The capsules are made using only top 5% speciality grade Arabica coffee beans available in the world which are single origin and direct trade from Brazil, hand-roasted in Whistable.
Stuart Wilson, Lost Sheep Coffee founder says, “We know the family who grow these coffee beans, so we can ensure that they receive nearly 5 times more money than they otherwise would through third party distributors. Their family farm is also Rainforest Alliance Certified, all to give Lost Sheep Coffee customers full clear tractability of their drink from farm to cup. Our packaging is unique to us and tells our personal journey and is fully recyclable, the capsules are 100% compostable with full compostable certification.”
Lost Sheep Coffee has speciality coffee shops in Canterbury and Ashford’s McArthurGlen shopping outlet, as well as the micro-roastery in Whitstable.
The capsules are certified 100% compostable by the industry gold standard TUV Austria and, crucially, what makes Lost Sheep capsules different is they are fully air-tight to guarantee freshness of 12+ months.
