About Pact Coffee

Pact Coffee works with the worldʼs finest farmers to bring outstanding speciality coffee to UK consumers at a fair price, whilst improving lives and safeguarding farmersʼ futures at origin.

For over 10 years, weʼve been changing the industry from the ground up. We are intent on building long-term relationships with farmers that flourish. By putting the needs of farmers at origin first, rather than market investors, we can provide UK consumers with a quality of speciality coffee they wonʼt find anywhere else.

Pact Coffee is a B Corporation with a carbon-neutral roastery, and all our packaging is fully recyclable. Our focus on sustainability extends to the farmers we work with, many of whom champion planet-first practices.

Welcome to better coffee. Better for farmers, better for the planet, and better for you.
