## Who we are

Pact Coffee is all about making coffee a force for good. We source specialty coffee, which we roast, grind and deliver fresh to homes, offices, cafés, and hotels across the country. We were founded on the principle that businesses should do good, by doing well.

How do we make coffee a force for good? With a 100% commitment to direct trade, and an investment and training programme that helps farmers change their lives for the better. We encourage farmers to strive for speciality-grade crops - because it’s about quality, not charity.

What we do:

- Source 100% speciality grade coffee

- Provide training and investment to coffee growers

- Roast our coffee no more than seven days before shipping to our subscribers

You’ll join us at an exciting period of growth and be a key player in our next chapter.
