Our Values
Quality.
As specialty coffee roasters, we strive to bring the best possible coffee to our costumers. Our quality control process includes origin trips to visit as many farms as possible to ascertain good farming practices are in place, cupping (tasting) numerous samples of coffee on a regular basis, and partnering with producers, importers and brokers that follow similar standards and quality procedures.
Traceability.
Each type of coffee tells a story. The idea of single origin also means being able to trace the coffee to its roots: the country, the region, the farm, the people, the processes and the surrounding environment. We trace the elements and characters that give each coffee it’s unique profile, or in other words, its story. To learn more specific details about the origins go to our store.
Direct/Fair Trade.
More than a certification, our direct – fair trade is a commitment. Chapolera Coffee believes in the direct correlation between quality and fair practices across the supply chain. We also expect the same kind of commitment in our partnerships with farmers or importers. We pay special attention to make sure a fair price is paid for the coffee and to the farmers. We truly believe this is the only way we can help ensure the farmers will continue to produce and harvest the exceptional coffee beans we all love and enjoy.
Stewardship.
Our stewardship efforts encompass the following:
The environment and how it affects coffee farming and the supply chain.
The farmers necessities — We look for ways to participate and promote programs or activities that directly benefit them.
Finding ways to pay it forward and being mindful of our relationships with the community, both local and abroad.
