About Us

At Coffee Island, we believe in quality coffee and have made a commitment to our customers to only offer superb specialty coffees, the kind of coffees that speak for themselves.

To achieve this, we practice Direct Trade. This allows us to be in direct contact with the coffee growers. Using this model, Coffee Island builds mutually beneficial relationships with individual farmers and cooperatives in coffee producing countries.

We have worked in many countries to support farmers in the protection and improvement of the soil, water, and of each local microclimate. We also provide support on projects that improve the living conditions of coffee farm workers, we trade with. What’s more, consistent coffee purchases at fair trade rates, increase the income of farmers and improve the quality of the coffee yield coffee.

We have signed long-term, exclusive contracts, with specialty coffee producers in Brazil, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. All of the producers we work with promote ecological, sustainable and socially responsible coffee production. We explore the different coffee-growing zones and want our customers to know that when they buy a coffee beverage from our roasters, they can shake hands with each and every individual farmer in Brazil, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala who has contributed to the cup!
