What we pay,where we source.

Specialty coffee should be priced for quality and paid for fairly. Each batch we release publishes the cooperative, the volume, the F.O.B. price we paid, and the cup score — so claims about "fair" and "direct" can be checked, not just made.

Terms used in this report

F.O.B. (Free on Board)
The price of green coffee once it has been processed, packed, and placed on board a container at origin. From this point, the buyer covers freight, customs, and shipping costs.
C-market price
The global commodity price for standard coffee traded on ICE. Often used as a benchmark, though it rarely reflects the true cost of sustainable quality coffee production.
SCA cup score
A quality score given according to the Specialty Coffee Association's cupping protocol. Coffees scoring 80 points and above are considered "specialty coffee."
Heirloom varietal
Ethiopia's native, genetically diverse coffee cultivars — the original Arabica gene pool. Different from the cloned, named varietals grown in Central and South America.
