Jam, pecans, and dark chocolate form the flavours behind this single-origin coffee.
Las Nubes is named after the clouds that frequent the farms of Cordillera Isabelia and is the product of 20 local growers. Sourced from Caravela, the company is B Corp and UN Climate Neutral Now accredited.
Coffee producers of the Cordillera Isabelia region benefit from Caravela’s proactive social and environmental initiatives.
We import Las Nubes via our partners Caravela, whose values closely align with our own. They are on a mission to support and empower smallholder coffee producers in Central and South America. In addition to being B-Corp certified since 2014, the company has held UN Climate Neutral Now status since 2020.
Thanks to regular rainfall and fertile soils, the region is green throughout the year. Its coffee producers are committed to protecting the land and its people. Jobs have been created, clean water donated, and better pay initiatives instigated for the whole community.

Through its Producer Education Program Team (PECA) Caravela works at farm level to assess factors such as education, gender equality, finance, and technology. It has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and child labour, and celebrates calls from the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) for the coffee industry to increase traceability and reduce deforestation.
The company actively works with smallholder farmers to improve their growing practices and lower their environmental footprint. This includes developing organic fertilisers, pesticides, and wastewater treatment systems that reduce the negative impact that sympathetic substances have upon natural resources. The team also evaluates gaps within coffee communities and integrates them with Social and Governance gaps.
Rather than build our own impact goals we have used the United Nations’ framework of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to guide how we purchase our coffee. This enables us to align our impact with some of the biggest social and environmental challenges we face today.
