This is one of our founding principals. Coffee is very labor intensive and comes with a lot of risks. Coffee trees don’t really start to produce worthwhile fruit for five years after planting and, depending on its location in the world, it’s only harvested once or twice a year. The word sustainable gets thrown around a lot in coffee, but to us, sustainable coffee means a farmer is able to produce coffee year after year. Farmers and workers need to be compensated fairly. We are committed to ensuring our farmers and their farms are able to grow and that means making purchasing decisions that ensure their continual success.
