The Impact of Fair Trade on Messenger Coffee
The emergence of Fair Trade coffee has revolutionized the industry, offering farmers around the world a chance to participate in the lucrative global market. As more and more consumers become aware of Fair Trade and its benefits, companies like Messenger Coffee have made it easy for customers to enjoy ethically-sourced coffee.
At Messenger Coffee, we believe that all coffee should be responsibly grown and harvested with respect for people, communities, and the environment. That's why we only purchase 100% Fair Trade Certified coffees. Our commitment to sourcing sustainably ensures that each bag of our Specialty Grade beans is sourced from farms that are certified by Fairtrade International (FLO).
When a company purchases a bag of beans from FLO-certified farms, they are guaranteeing their customers that the farmers have received fair wages for their work, as well as safe working conditions and supplemental educational opportunities. By implementing these standards across their supply chains, Fair Trade systems ensure that everyone involved in the process is treated fairly.
At Messenger Coffee, we take pride in offering our customers ethically sourced products while directly supporting smallholder & family farmer cooperatives around the world. We source 100% of our green beans through Direct & Strategic Sourcing Cooperatives (DSSC) networks—which means that every bag sold is helping fund reinvestment projects at origin, which help increase incomes & strengthen both communities & ecosystems in regions like Central America, Indonesia & East Africa!
We're passionate about ensuring that everyone along our supply chain—from farm owners to employees—is treated with dignity and respect. After all, without their hard work and dedication, there would be no delicious cup of Messengers Coffee! So whether you choose to enjoy your cup at home or over Zoom calls with your friends, you can rest assured knowing that your cup was crafted using only ethically-sourced ingredients!
What Makes Messenger Coffee Unique?
What makes Messenger Coffee stand out from the rest? It's simple: an uncompromising commitment to ethically sourced, specialty-grade beans from farms around the world.
At Messenger Coffee, we take great pride in sourcing 100% of our green beans through Direct & Strategic Sourcing Cooperatives (DSSC) networks—which means that every cup enjoys a direct connection to its source communities. This helps us ensure that everyone involved in our production process is treated fairly and compensated fairly for their hard work.
Additionally, Messenger Coffee takes great care to ensure that all of its coffee beans are sustainably harvested with respect for people, communities, and the environment. We only purchase Fair Trade Certified coffees, guaranteeing customers that farmers have received fair wages and safe working conditions during the production process.
But Messenger Coffee doesn't stop there. Upon arriving at our roastery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, our team of expert roasters carefully evaluate each batch of coffee with a sensory analysis course designed to balance flavor and consistency traits like sugar browning, acidity, body, and aftertaste, ensuring that each cup is an enjoyable one! Our commitment to quality control has earned us the prestigious Q-Coffee certification from the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), further reinforcing our commitment to a great cup every time!
These commitments make Messenger Coffee truly unique amongst its peers. Every bag sold helps fund reinvestment projects that strengthen both communities & ecosystems in regions like Central America, Indonesia & East Africa—all while providing you with a delicious & ethically sourced cup of joe!
