PRICE STRUCTURE

When we started our coffee venture we were astounded by a pictorial of a coffee cup that illustrated how little of a percentage of a $2 coffee the actual farmer who grew the coffee actually received. We choose to be transparent with all our costs in bringing you high-quality coffees. Our price structure has one main goal: Contribute as much as possible to develop a sustainable quality coffee production and earn enough to keep our business running and growing.

As you can see in the pie-chart, the major part of our prices goes back to producers, in order to make sure, that the work on the farms can develop in a sustainable way. Our team in Ethiopia regularly visits all farm and mill partners to make sure, your purchases are reinvested in increasing the livelihood, environmental, social, and quality standards with all our partners.

PAYMENT OF PRODUCER

We pay our farmer producers a premium on average local prices and well above fairtrade standards, to make sure they are rewarded for their hard work and dedication. With our payment, we make sure the following guidelines are met:

• Fair payment to the employees of the farm
• Fair payment of the producer
• Farm development and rejuvenation (new plants, upgrade social facilities, renovation & reparation, etc.)
• Social projects around the villages (schools, recycling, nurseries…)
• Coffee research (labs, tests, and scientific projects on climate change)
