We’re Leveraging Coffee
To Make The World Better
Imagine a coffee industry that provides dignifying wages to farmers, that generates net-zero impact on our environment, and that paves a way for local communities to thrive. We’re not there yet.
That’s why, at Amavida, we’re not satisfied being just another Fair Trade coffee roaster. We’re energized by pushing the limits of what it means to be an ethical and sustainable coffee company, because we believe the pursuit of exceptional coffee is one of the most powerful ways to create positive change—in both coffee producing countries, and at home.
We’d love to show you how.
Mission:
Being Friendly and Fair
Our fair trade coffee is produced at fair trade standards that allow dialogue, transparency and respect to support producers and foster sustainable environmental farming practices. Hence, our mission is to be friendly and equitable, and to be recognized as the best organic coffee brand. At Amavida Coffee Roasters we develop trade partnerships that improve the financial conditions and profitability of small farm owners, most of whom are based in developing nations of Latin America, Caribbean, Africa, and Asia.
Above all, buying fair, sustainable and delicious coffee is a conscious moral decision we at Amavida Coffee Roasters we strive to maintain to make your life easier as a consumer. Our process to importing coffee involves drawing up an eco-friendly contract with a producer cooperative to promote environmentally sustainable practices that do not violate human rights and empower farmers to produce top-quality coffee.
As your preferred fair trade coffee roaster, Amavida Coffee Roasters is deeply committed to not only the quality in the cup but also establishing excellent relationships both at and with the source.
Our Friends:
Cooperatives Around the World
As a member of Cooperative Coffees, the first and only cooperative of independent coffee roasters in the U.S and Canada, Amavida Coffee Roasters preference sourcing organic coffee beans from Fair Trade cooperatives that guarantee fair wages for their individual members.
Working with other Cooperative Coffees members since 2004 has enabled us to go beyond the simple concept of fair trade. We work hard to incorporate measures that allow coffee growers to achieve year-round income sustainability while supporting their use of the safest agriculture practices for the environment.
Our goal through Cooperative Coffees is to empower coffee producers and farmers through training on innovative coffee growing technologies and techniques. In addition to paying a premium for certified coffee, giving access to credit and ensuring repeat business for their product. This way local farmers, together with their exporting cooperatives, can benefit significantly. Also, while leading to greater economic growth and protecting the environment.
At Amavida Coffee Roasters we are proud of our specialty coffee’s origins. In particular, we care about the people involved, and in every process of purchasing and then preparing the organic coffee beans. Indeed, working to be the best for our coffee producers and communities while striving to be the most sustainable coffee brand we cans another way we choose to love life!.
