Transparency

 

We aim to change the way coffee is valued. By purchasing from 100% transparent and traceable suppliers, we can guarantee a healthy supply chain that creates positive impact.

To see the prices our suppliers paid for our coffees, you can visit Transparent Trade Coffee’s (TTC) website and filter by roaster. TTC is a research program based out of Emory University’s Goizueta Business School that collects specialty coffee market data to promote higher prices and wages for coffee producers.
