Most of our suppliers are smallholders who deliver their coffee with their small hand tractors. Many of them are very loyal suppliers we meet again every year. One of them had a bit of a surprise for me this year. He owns a coffee base of 1.3 ha, which yield him about 3 tons of green beans each year. He has been delivering to us for as long as I have been here (and probably longer), making the trip of about 100 km with his hand tractor several times each buying season. This year however, he showed up at our office with a big smile on his face, and his coffee in a small truck.

AuthorI wouldn't be surprised to find out I was born with a passion for coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember not loving coffee. And by that, I don't just mean drinking it, but everything involved from its cultivation over the processing to the final product that is my loyal companion throughout the day. Archives
