Sustainability

We work with growers, not with a commodity.

Behind every bag there is a farm with a name, a family, a micro-history. Our model pays a premium over the reference price and shares traceability with the end buyer.

“The coffee that leaves our mountains is worth more when the family that grows it can stay on them.”

We pay quality premiums above the New York exchange price, in Colombian pesos, direct to the producer or the allied mill. Every farm receives the technical spec of its lot and the final destination of the container.

We support renovation programs for rust-resistant varieties, FLO and Rainforest Alliance certifications, and women-led farmer cooperatives in Huila and Tolima.
