Coffee
[EVO] is direct-trade. That's one step better than fair-trade.
It comes directly from Guatemala, one of the richest coffee regions in the world. Which means you get the freshest coffee possible and ALL the proceeds go directly back to the farmer to help sustain his crops, provide for his workers and boost the local economy.
But who cares, really? Can't I get good fair-trade coffee at my local coffee shop? Yeah, probably. But probably not direct-trade and here's why it matters to us...
Not long ago, Guatemalan civil war finally came to an end after 30 years. Unfortunately, a great number of people were left as refugees, many of them widowed and some left as orphans. So a coffee grower named Andrés steps in with jobs at his farm and raises money to build homes and schools in an effort to restore his friends and neighbors.
The coffee we serve [EVO] is harvested by Andrés and his crew. We buy direct-trade from him, roast it state-side then brew and serve (and sell) it to you here. All the proceeds from your coffee purchases go directly back to Andrés and the restoration of his people in Guatemala.
We have a unique opportunity to affect the lives of the people of this region while enjoying something many of us do every single day.
Drink coffee. Buy direct.
[EVO] Change is brewing.
