KNOWING OUR GROWERS
We work with Swedish family coffee company, Löfbergs Lila. Their people search out the very best ethical beans for our four delicious coffees. They go to places like Guatemala, Ethiopia and Columbia. They visit coffee farms and meet farmers. They buy more Fairtrade coffee than anyone else in Europe. Find out about who grew your coffee and where.
ASOBARGRI, GUATEMALA
Produced by a group of Mayan Indians who farm in Huehuetenango, one of Guatemala’s top coffee growing districts. The farmers founded the Asobagri association in 1989 after a period of political violence and increasing poverty.
Asobagri is Fairtrade (FLO) certified; each producer grows high quality organic and Fairtrade coffee. Training and technical assistance from the association helps growers achieve exceptionally high standards. Asobagri builds roads so that farmers can transport their beans easily and loans local women money to start small businesses.
Asobagri supplies beans for Maya and Talia.

KACHALU, COLOMBIA
Produced by a small group of enterprising farmers calling themselves Kachalu - meaning hope. They share the aims of producing more environmentally friendly coffee, protecting their rich wildlife habitat and preventing water contamination. Economic conditions forced many of their neighbours to abandon farms or convert to other crops.
Kachalu is part of the Rainforest Alliance which works with coffee growers to cultivate beans sustainably and protect the people and wildlife that depend on the land. Rigorous standards developed by scientists, NGOs, coffee growers and community members mean better pay, housing, education and healthcare for coffee growing families.
Kachalu supplies beans for Alimika.
