Our approach to sourcing raw green coffee from farms around the world relies on the expertise of qualified brokers and farm inspectors.We recognize that our strengths are in roasting and serving coffee, and choose to work with brokers who specialize in their field, and know what to look for at the farming, harvest and import phases of the process. 

Our brokers have extensive experience both on the ground at farms, and in their warehouse maintaining quality control and equitable purchasing standards. Their expertise aids in creating a sustainable relationship between not just the buyer and seller, but also between the land and the harvest.

This expertise enables the producer to increase quality and yield year after year, while increasing profit for their conjoined efforts. 

We would also like to acknowledge that while we do not pay the licensing fee to display a FairTrade trademark on our bags, all of our coffees are purchased at prices above FairTrade. For more information on our sourcing, please visit our brokers website where an archive of transparency reports are available on all of our coffees.
