Peace Coffee
These days there appeared a video over the Internet that shows the story about the company that makes so-called “Peace” coffee. What exactly distinquishes this kind of coffee from others? See the video. I will make only a tiny highlight that the whole production and delivery are highly stylized. You’ll see them baking, packing, tasting, toasting, roasting on a machine (a quite old machine!). And the whole time that it took them to grow – it’s around four years!
At Peace Coffee, they trade fairly with small, organic coffee grower cooperatives in Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Ethiopia and Sumatra. They are also a founding member of Cooperative Coffees. This is a green coffee importing cooperative committed to supporting and partnering with small-scale coffee farmers and their exporting cooperatives. By importing directly from our partner-farmers, Cooperative Coffees seeks to creatively foster a more equitable and sustainable system of coffee trade that directly benefits these farmers, their families and their communities. Organized in 1999, Cooperative Coffees is owned and managed collectively by a small group of specialty coffee roasters like Peace Coffee, located in the United States and Canada. Roasters share a common interest and concern that each has addressed individually – the desire to source sustainably grown coffees and to work closely with the farmers growing it. Roasters work together, cooperatively, this way Peace Coffe can more readily impact and multiply the positive effects of their selective coffee purchasing.
