To (Caffe) L’Affare

Have we been blessed with  L’Affare’s presence or what?

Side note: yes, I often call it caffe l’affare, what-everrrr

Wellington has long cherished the local brand, and it’s cafe, for well over two decades and it’s pretty clear why. L’affare coffee is bang on delicious, with clear lingering flavours and that oomph you need in the morning (Yes domestic espresso machines give me life, thank you Trade Me).

Now of course the very basics of this blog need to be covered. Are they fairly traded? Uh Yeaahhh. They are very much fairtrade and organic dude - you know, just everything you need in a cup of coffee really.  These guys partner with Trade Aid (just like Peoples Coffee do from my understanding) to ensure that everyone who works towards bringing that cup of coffee to our lips are treated right.

Additionally, they care about their carbon footprint and are taking steps towards minimising carbon emissions as much as they can. Now that makes me wonder (as I write this) if buying coffee from their store means that my coffee grind will be in a compostable bag! (Unfortunately Moore Wilsons don’t sell coffee in compostable bags as far as I know, which makes me wonder if it’s a supermarket standard that coffee bags are lined in plastic/foil craziness? So that it has longer shelf life? Makes sense right?). Ok I’m making a note of that! We’re checking that out once the cafe reopens!

So let’s keep it short and sweet, yeah? Is the coffee delicious? You bet it is. Is it fair? Dude duh. Is it organic? Is it even worth drinking if it’s not? Does it love it’s environment and it’s community? Yup and yeap

So I think you’ve got another Welly coffee brand to add to your list of faves (lol just joking because we all know you already have them down)
