      About Coborn:

      The aim of sourcing and roasting consistently high-quality coffee whilst ensuring that it is accessible to as many people as possible was a conversation that would eventually lead to Coborn being founded by Kenny and Justin in an East London pub on Coborn Road.  

      We only source coffee that comes from a named female-producer or a majority women-owned farm. Women make up the majority of the coffee production labour force but represent a shockingly small number of farm ownership.

      It’s very easy in this industry to signal that you’re doing the right thing or allied to the correct causes but when you scratch a little, cracks often appear. We don’t want a veneer of righteousness, we actually want to ensure we are living out our beliefs. That means we feel the pinch a bit more because we want farmers to be paid well whilst not making the coffee completely unaffordable for our customers.
