Relationships Nurtured with Coffee Farmers and Brokers
The wild fruit of Ethiopia, the smooth earthiness of Timor, the bright spice of Guatemala, the dry citrus of Kenya, the dark chocolate of Peru - this is the map of our world.
A decade and a half after we began buying and roasting green coffee, we know the farmers and brokers who deliver consistently good coffee year after year, and these relationships guarantee a special cup of coffee from a single-family Nicaraguan Estate, from an Indian farm in the Ghiri Hills, from the slopes of a former sugar plantation on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
We have relationships with a Colombian co-operative, a Costa Rican co-op, a Peruvian co-op, a Kenyan importer and the Komun Tribal Plantation of Papua New Guinea. In short, when we find a great coffee, we search for its source. And when we find the source, we cultivate a friend and a partner.
Fairly Traded and Organic Coffee Offerings
As you would imagine, much of our coffee carries Fair Trade certification. But more importantly, most of it is fairly traded coffee. We directly purchase our coffee from the source at every opportunity, and all of our favorite coffees come from farmers and farm representatives that have become fast friends.
Our organic coffee offerings come from around the globe, with special suppliers of Peruvian, Ethiopian, Colombian, Mexican, Ugandan and Timor origins. Add to those bird-friendly, sustainable coffees from Papua New Guinea, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Guatemala, and you will discover that our coffee is truly planet friendly and palate perfect.
Our coffee roasting operations are inspected annually to ensure our compliance with the USDA National Organic Program.
