Organic
Mexico / Peru
Ground medium roast arabica beans. 70% of the coffee beans come from farming families in Mexico, and the other 30% is from Peru. The beans are roasted weekly so that you always get fresh quality. Medium-fine grind suitable for all coffee makers. Aroma: nutty, chocolatey. Flavour: fruity, marzipan, honey, low acidity.
Storage & shelf life
Store the coffee in an airtight container. A porcelain or ceramic container is ideal, but a plastic container will also work well. Store the container in a cool, dark and dry place. Ideally, consume the ground coffee within two weeks of receiving it. After that, the aromas already dissipate.

I want to improve my coffee field and increase yields.
"I live with my mother and my two children, who are only six and eight years old," says Cecilia Gutierrez Perez. "My two brothers help me at harvest time. I can't afford any other helpers." Alongside coffee, she grows maize and beans and keeps chickens and turkeys. "I only sell the coffee – 600 kilos last year – for which I received 33'000 pesos (approx. 1800 Euros)," says Perez. "I'd like to have more coffee and earn more that way. But that requires more workers, which means less money again. It's a vicious circle."
Background
We want fairer coffee
People in Europe drink more than 30 billion cups of coffee a year. Millions of family farmers grow the coffee to meet this huge demand. Far too many of these families live in abject poverty because the price of coffee is too low.
