Our Union is extremely proud of the relationships we have developed, and continue to evolve, with the farmers and smallholders where we source our fine coffees from.
We believe exceptional quality doesn't just happen. Instead, it requires close collaboration between farmer and roaster, together with a real understanding of the individual issues, needs and environment of that particular farm or co-operative. This compels us to travel regularly and, on occasion, host visits for producers in the UK – so we can get under the surface and talk to the people who matter most. These relationships aren't just what set us apart from others on the market, they provide the bedrock upon which we are able to bring you coffee of such sweet delight.
In this section, we provide you with detailed information on the farmers we work with and the investment programmes we are engaged in. To buy any of these coffees simply click the 'buy online' button in the header.
