BM adds organic option to Perkee range

BM Caterers has added its first organic option to its Perkee range, Santo coffee, in addition to that sourced from the Soppexcca coffee cooperative in Nicaragua. As well as Brazilian government certification, Santo coffee has USDA and Demeter biodynamic federation certification, and is grown at Camocim Estate in Brazil’s Espirito Santo. 

It is also pulped naturally, meaning the bean is dried with the skin removed but the pulp left intact. This is believed to give the coffee a sweeter taste, allowing the flavours of hazelnut, vanilla and milk chocolate to shine through once it’s been roasted. 

Miguel Camara, head of coffee and tea for BM, said: “It’s important that we support the growth of sustainable farming, by leading the change from the consumer side so farmers see the benefit in switching to more organic farming practices, including when it comes to coffee. We’re already seeing Santo prove very popular with our customers and expect demand to increase even further once we’ve ‘introduced’ it to everyone through our pop-ups.”
