Our Organic Bolivian Caravani coffee comes from the Asociación Integral de Productores Ecológicos de Pumiri (AIPEP) cooperative, located in Caranavi Province within Bolivia’s Yungas region. 🇧🇴

Working through Coop Coffees, we´ve obtained some beautiful Bolivian offerings while supporting various projects which allow AIPEP to continue growing. In 2021, Coop Coffees funded the Efficiency Improvement in Coffee Drying Process project.

The story behind our Organic Apex Ethiopian Yirgacheffe:

This coffee comes from a cooperative union called Oromia. Established in 1999, the group facilitates the direct exportation of coffee produced by Ethiopia's small farmers.

[Higher Grounds Coffee @highergroundstc]

Oromia is responsible for processing, marketing, and commercializing coffee for its members. The union is comprised of 405 cooperatives, gathering over 370,000 farmer households as of 2019.

[Higher Grounds Coffee @highergroundstc]

In a world full of coffee drinkers, it's shocking to see many coffee farmers struggling. Our goal always has been to go beyond fair trade, building strong relationships with our producing partners so we can grow together.

Thanks for supporting our mission!

[Higher Grounds Coffee @highergroundstc]

“The way we trade” – our commitment to long-term relationships with actual people has ruled the way we do business since day one.
When Higher Grounds was founded, we realized that global fair trade standards were supposed to dictate a “living wage” for farmers all over the world.

[Higher Grounds Coffee @highergroundstc]

Sadly, that price still isn't enough enough. It’s not enough for families to afford access to clean water. Not enough for children of growers to attend school. Not enough to implement sustainable methods and develop communities with models for growth.
