    About Cafédirect

    At Cafédirect, we know that the best coffeestarts with the best growers.

    So we source exclusively from smallholdergrowers whose personal care and attentionleads to an extra special taste.

    But small isn’t always beautiful.

    Smallholder growers in remote communitiesare the least able to realise the benefits oftheir harvest, and most vulnerable to riskssuch as climate change.

    That’s why we do things differently.

    We go direct, working in partnershipwith smallholder growers, to cut out themiddleman, and give growers a greatershare of the benefits. It’s the perfect blend!
