Why we only roast organic, fairly traded coffee

We only roast certified organic, fairly traded green beans. We believe what we spend our money on can make a difference, and this is our way of doing it.

Better for growers

Our green bean supplier follows fair trade principles, and premiums earned on fair trade sales through our importer have helped fund schools, mills, water pumps and health clinics with our trading partners. Chris has travelled to origin with our importer to meet the growers and see it for himself.

Grown the old way

To be certified organic, coffee is grown without synthetic chemicals. Ours is grown under the natural tree canopy, and our green beans are certified organic by BioGro.

It's been that way since we started.
