The Importance of Ensuring Traceability

At Kofee, we believe that purchasing coffee from farmers and ensuring full traceability are crucial for a sustainable and ethical coffee industry. By establishing direct contacts, we build strong relationships with the people who grow our coffee. This approach allows us to pay fair wages, ensuring that farmers receive the full value of their hard work. It also promotes social equity and supports the economic well-being of coffee-growing communities.

Traceability is crucial and allows us to track every step of the coffee’s journey from the farm to your cup. This transparency ensures that the coffee is produced sustainably and ethically, adhering to high standards of environmental and social responsibility. By choosing coffee with full traceability, consumers can trust that their purchase supports sustainable practices and contributes to the well-being of the farmers and their communities.

Ultimately, direct purchasing and traceability empower consumers to make informed choices, fostering a more sustainable and equitable coffee industry.

We are also involved in various local social enterprises in the UK, adding value to our ethical work by supporting community projects and initiatives.

Our Coffee

Women and Coffee at Café Delas: Empowering Women Farmers in Brazil

We proudly source our coffee in Brazil from Café Delas, an initiative committed to assisting women farmers in acquiring the resources, knowledge, and recognition crucial for the success of their operations. Acknowledging the historical oversight of women in the coffee industry, Café Delas aims to bring visibility to their vital contributions often overshadowed by male-centric narratives.
Throughout history, women's roles in coffee have been understated, with examples being limited, anecdotal, and often patronising. Despite societal discouragement and restrictions, women have played significant roles, from coffeehouse proprietors in 17th-century London, like the astute widow Ferrari, to pioneers like Dorothy Jones, who secured the first coffee-selling licence in Boston in 1670.
Café Delas addresses this historical imbalance, advocating for the empowerment of women in the coffee industry. The initiative, inspired by historical and contemporary challenges faced by women, promotes gender equality and amplifies the voices of women in the coffee sector.
Our partnership with Café Delas means that every cup of coffee you enjoy supports this mission.

We stand by the belief that recognising and acknowledging the pivotal role of women in coffee is not just a historical correction but a contemporary imperative for a more inclusive and equitable coffee industry.

Join us in supporting Café Delas and celebrate the women behind your daily cup of coffee.
