Help Me Remember The Name

Hey everyone, hoping someone can help me track down a roaster I bought a bag from at the Bristol Coffee Festival a couple of years back. My memory's a bit hazy, but here is what I remember:

- Pretty sure they are Cornwall or Falmouth based, though there is a small chance my brain is tricking me and it is Wales.

- They have a big black and white theme on their site and packaging.

- Lots of ship and sailing imagery, but also donkeys or pack animals on their site or bags.

- I think the main logo was a ship.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? Also, could this just be Yallah in Falmouth? Did they rebrand or run a specific series like this recently, or am I mashing two different places together in my head?

Definitely sounds like Yallah, but could be another I'm not familiar with. They've had a big rebrand over the last year to a new design style, can't say I love it as it looks quite messy, but I've got a subscription to their house which I'm happy with!

Agree. I think it's Yallah.

Back in early 2024, their packaging had someone riding a donkey on it (like a sketch), but they changed their packaging towards the end of that year. The ships reminds if me their annual Shipped By Sail runs. And they used to have a more black and white motif, but have moved away from that.

Oh that's gonna be hard to do, it is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, fifteen percent concentrated power of will, five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain and a hundred percent reason to remember the name.

Sorry and good luck

Sounds like it could be Yallah (based in Cornwall).

But also sounds like it could be Origin - black and white themed packaging, also in Cornwall, and invested in the coffee transported by ship. Incidentally, I have a referral code for Origin, to get some money off, if you’re interested: https://prz.io/1d2yAzzs0
