green coffee
Coffee passes through many hands before it arrives in your cup at your local coffee shop, or on the shelves of your local supermarket. Often, the traceability of coffee gets lost in the process, and coffee becomes another commodity without a face. When you buy green coffee, you become closer to the farmers who grow and harvest them than ever before, drastically shortening the coffee’s supply chain. Additionally, as green coffee is highly traceable, you get to learn about how it was grown and harvested, who the farmer was – and coffee now becomes personal and meaningful.
