Roasters
This is the Direct Trade Pledge that all our roasters adhere to: I will only offer coffee to Direct Trade Coffee Club members that consistently scores 85 points or above using the SCAA scale.
Communication
I communicate regularly with the farmers I purchase coffee from. Communication will be in the form of in-person visits, phone calls or e-mails (direct or through a translator). I will visit the farmers and regions from which I purchase coffee at least once per year. These trips will be done by the coffee buyer or roaster as appropriate.
Transparency
I will make available a comparison between the prices I pay to farmers and the published 'Fair Trade' price. I will provide the farmer with the best possible price.
Sustainability
I will endeavor to provide the best market price possible to the farmer. I will participate in farmer education programs offered by the Direct Trade Coffee Club or perform my own education programs to help the farmers continue to provide quality green coffee beans.
Our Roasters
Direct Trade Coffee Club is committed to building sustainable relationships with our roasters. We purchase from our roasters in a way that is financially beneficial to both our roasters and our customers. To insure freshness and for environmental sustainability, all of our orders are drop-shipped directly from the roaster.
We are always seeking out new roasters so, if you are a roaster that fits the description we have outlined and would like to find out how you can work with the Direct Trade Coffee Club, please contact us.
