Conscious Coffees purchases green coffee directly from producer partners through their coffee importing cooperative, Cooperative Coffees (coopcoffees.com). This arrangement enables transparent, long term, direct relationships with coffee growers, and eliminates the middlemen who often take potential revenue directly out of the hands of the farmers. They buy only certified organic coffee that is grown on small family farms that are collectively self-organized into cooperatives.

Their mission is to create long term relationships with their growers, customers, and the environment which transcend volume and profits and emphasize cup quality, human rights, and sustainability. Conscious Coffees’ trade model includes grower/exporter, importer/roaster, retailer, and final consumer. Each of the 4 members play a crucial role in the continued success of this model, which is based on values. They remain obligated to bring the producers’ voices to the final consumer, through their retail partners. They remain committed to being accountable for all the resources they use, including all packaging and production supplies.
