our partners
Ensuring ethical and sustainable coffee starts at the source.
Our coffees and products are a testimony to the creativity and care of the people who grow, roast, and love the things they do.
We are working together with local partners to introduce inclusive business models that dynamically add and create shared value, making an honest, direct, and authentic challenge to face up today’s economic, social and ecological problems.
Our local partners are a network of trusted coffee farmers, associations and cooperatives of small producers and local communities: women’s groups, ethnic groups, ex-combatants and victims of the armed conflict in different regions of Colombia.
Ethical Origin collaborates with them to ensure that each crop and roast they craft is not only delicious, but also good for everyone.
The quality of the coffee begins with the cultivation, develops in the process, including the care taken in the roasting, and finally is reflected in the cup. These are people who grow your coffee but have also invested time, energy, love, passion, faith and money to create their local brands.
We evaluate every potential source for quality, transparency, and sustainability: selecting exceptional coffees to bring you a great cup that you can trust.
The production of coffee and other local products generates social cohesion, social inclusion and supports the reconstruction of the social fabric in conflict-affected areas. Our purpose is the integration of local economies into global markets.
In the heart of Planadas, in the southern part of the Tolima department, COOMPEP was born. This cooperative arose from the collective work of 143 coffee and cacao-producing families from the municipalities of Planadas and Ataco, and the Huila department, committed to quality, sustainability, and the development of their region.
Our organization is based on unity, effort, and agricultural tradition, where each producer contributes their knowledge and dedication to offer products that reflect the richness of our land. We work with social and environmental responsibility, promoting sustainable practices that guarantee not only the excellence of our crops but also the well-being of our communities.
