Coffee School - Sourcing

Sourcing is a method of purchasing coffee. Agro Café and its partners visit the countries and regions where great coffee is being produced. We then identify small farms and cooperatives from whom we can directly purchase our coffee. During this process we view their harvesting methods and processing equipment to ensure the highest quality coffee. We perform a number of quality control tests including cupping a number of different farms coffees.

When it comes to sourcing our coffee beans, AGRO Café takes a hands on approach and is committed to sustainability. Agricultural expansion is the single largest threat to tropical rain forests. Farmers need education in several areas to reduce this threat, especially regarding sustainable farming practices. By sourcing our coffee directly from the farms we help farmers develop a sustainable policy. Not only does direct sourcing ensure you the highest quality coffee but it also establishes a family relationship with our producers. We show them the families that drink their coffee giving them an enormous sense of satisfaction knowing their family is producing coffee for your family!
