Gallery Filter coffee 250g

A 250g bag of our Gallery Filter coffee, in your choice of grind or whole beans, direct from our Coffee by Tate Roastery at Tate Britain.

Coffee by Tate is a vibrant community-led non-profit business that helps fund Tate Gallery and champion coffee producers and professionals of all genders throughout the coffee value chain. Our range of coffees is comprised of individual, community and family producers and designed to reflect the seasonality, diversity and quality of coffee grown across Africa and Latin America. Our range of Espresso and Filter coffees are the results of projects, relationships or initiatives that we have instigated or supported in producing communities, with the help of our partners, and changes seasonally. This is a more sustainable process that ensures the highest quality yield and allows us to work with more producers.

Tate Collective's Open Call invited 16-25 year olds to create artworks for our coffee labels. Each entry was inspired by Coffee by Tate's values of quality, community and gender equality. This label titled Synergy was designed by Jade Kelly.

About our producers

The farm of La Bendición is situated at 1900-2100masl in Sansare, department of El Progreso. The climate here is sub-tropical rainforest, with an average rainfall of 1.800mm and soil that is a mixture of volcanic pumice and clay. It is owned by José Gómez, who has been growing coffee in this region for the past 20 years, and operated by his son, who has the same name.

The farm grows coffee alongside corn, potatoes and tomatoes, and employs 15 workers. Harvest here is between April and May and the cherries, once picked, are taken to Beneficio La Esperanza for processing. The Beneficio La Esperanza wet mill owns a fleet of 40 trucks, which travel a 60km radius outside of the region of Antigua to collect cherries. Small producers and communities are made aware of when and where the trucks will show up and bring their cherries to the weighing stations to be tagged and weighed. The producer is given a receipt for their cherries and these are assigned a number for tracking. This number will follow the coffee all the way through processing, sampling and lot building.
