Sip with Purpose: Sustainable, Ethical & Farm Direct Coffees at Passport Coffee & Tea
At Passport Coffee & Tea, we believe great coffee goes beyond flavor. It should support farmers, protect the planet, and promote transparency. That’s why we’re proud to offer coffee options that are Farm Direct, Ethically Sourced, and Sustainable, and in many cases, all three.
Here’s a quick guide to what these labels mean, and the standout coffees that earn them:
Farm Direct
We work directly with small-scale farmers to source our coffee, ensuring fair compensation and empowering local communities. This transparency builds strong relationships and results in exceptional quality beans.
Featured Farm Direct Coffee: Guatemala El Santo Sourced from small producers in the Fraijanes region of Guatemala, this limited batch features traditional varieties like Bourbon and Typica, grown in volcanic soil. With notes of cocoa, caramel, red fruits, and lemon, this medium roast delivers a clean cup with citrus acidity and a long finish. Traceable supply chain Smallholder co-ops Grown at 1,200–1,700 masl
