Price Breakdown

For us, sourcing coffee isn’t just about finding the right flavour, but more about finding the right people. We want to work with importers who are interested in building lasting relationships with the farmers and stay involved beyond the harvest. For this coffee, we’ve partnered with This Side Up. They represent producers directly, support long-term systems, and make sure pricing reflects the real work behind each lot. Their model is built on transparency, shared ownership, and a refusal to let commodity pricing define value. We pay more, but we know where it goes. That’s how we prefer to source our coffee.
