The Coffee Gardens was established in 2017 with the goal of producing incredible specialty coffee in an ethical way, offering a transparent and direct link between coffee farmers and coffee consumers.

The Coffee Gardens Project was established with many purposes such as improve farmer's income and livelihoods, create and provide rural employment, promote gender equality, increase transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain and enviromental protection in the area. In the 2019/20 season, The Coffee Gardens purchased coffee cherries at an average price of 10% above the market price - and for the majority of the farmers who live in hard to reach areas - around 30% above the rate offered by traders.

The coffee in this micro-lot is produced by the farmers on the mountain above The Coffee Gardens’ washing station. The farmers bring the coffee cherries down to the processing station, earning extra income. The contributing farmers receive weekly training by The Coffee Gardens’ agronomists on improved agriculture.

This lot has been created thanks to 71 farmers, including 9 women and each farmer provided an average of 600 KGs of red cherry.
