Indigenous roots

Colombia is known worldwide for its Arabica coffee, but only a small percentage of growers use organic methods. In a market where not much state support exists for organic farming, Equal Exchange is proud to offer technical assistance and training to farmers at ASPROCAFE INGRUMA and pay a premium price for their high quality organic beans. ASPROCAFE is one of our oldest partners going back to the mid nineties, with the majority of the co-op’s 3300 members being Embara Chambi indigenous people who live on four reserves on the outskirts of Riosucio. Women and youth have a high level of participation in the co-op, and women hold strong positions of leadership in the office.

Our worker-owned, solar-generating roastery

At our Massachusetts HQ, our team batch-roasts coffee daily under a 1,418 panel solar array, bringing out the best flavors of each harvest. At the lighter end of the roast spectrum, we accentuate the unique fruity and floral notes within the beans. As the roast length increases, the natural sugars in the coffee beans caramelize and darken to elicit a richer body. Our darkest roasts fully express the beans’ natural oils, yielding subtle smokiness and flavors akin to dark chocolate. At every level, our expert team creates a smooth, clean, and balanced cup with reliable consistency from batch to batch.

Reviews

Best Coffee

"Colombian Organic Coffee Small Farmer Fund makes a wonderful impression from the moment you open the bag. The beans smell delicious, with an inviting aroma hinting at the flavor ahead. The coffee tastes exquisite. Its medium-dark roast brings depth and richness while preserving bright floral and citrus notes. Those flavors give each cup a lively character, with a smooth finish and a pleasing balance between roast intensity and freshness. It is well suited for pour-over, which highlights the floral and citrus notes, or drip brewing for an enjoyable everyday cup. It also makes a smooth espresso with a lively flavor profile. If you enjoy your coffee black and appreciate a rich roast with bright, expressive notes, this coffee is an excellent choice."

Best coffee hands down

"Ok, so I'm not the guy that does reviews unless something goes horribly wrong. This is my first time buying from this company and my first time buying organic coffee. I am now spoiled rotten! I had no idea coffee could be this good! I was buying my coffee beans from Espresso Outlet and they have decent coffee but it's not even close to how good this is. Thank you for being the best part of my morning and setting me up for daily success."

We will never buy coffee from any other source!

"5 STAR!! We've been purchasing our coffee - and at times chocolate, cashews, tea, mango strips, and figs - through Equal Exchange for about 25 years. We are delighted for the opportunity to support the small farmers and their families as well as their system! And, as a bonus, benefit from REALLY GREAT coffee!! Thank you, EE, for all the hard work! You have made this easy for people like us."
