Appreciation for Coffee Farmers
The farmer’s appreciation for coffee production is rooted in a deep and rich culture and we as buyers are an extension to their efforts. We’ve learned that even in our best efforts of attempting to transfer to our customers an appreciation and knowledge about coffee and what coffee production means to producers through photography and storytelling, it is still lacking. We show our appreciation for coffee farmers through love and respect and our long term commitments in building fair relationships.
