WE ONLY USE DIRECT - TRADE BEANS
Actually, our roaster pays higher than fair-trade prices for the beans we use. Coffee comes from all over the world, and farmers are often exploited and paid lower prices for their beans. Klatch Coffee our roaster, was one of the pioneers of the fair-trade movement in coffee, in a process they call "direct trade." Klatch has representatives in the countries that supply green coffee to them 12 months out of the year. Based in Los Angeles CA, Klatch is a family-run company that has won countless awards, including the "Micro Roaster of the Year", They are also 4-Time “Golden Bean Champions” (Which is the largest roasting competition in the world). Fallbrook Coffee Company offers a wide variety of whole bean varieties from Klatch, and is currently using their "Belle Espresso" for our espresso drinks. Belle Espresso is a Medium Dark Roast which is super smooth and Consistent with notes of Blackberry, Chocolate and Brandy, with a flavor that shines through even when adding milk and syrups for our Vanilla Latte. On tap we most likely have our “Organic Rain Forest Blend”, another Medium Dark Roast with notes of Dark Chocolate, Brown Sugar and Caramel. Perfect for mornings and afternoons with and without cream and sugar!
