The classic Excelso beans are medium roasted to give a well balanced and characteristically smooth flavour.   This Equal Exchange gourmet coffee is grown by the farmers of the Nuevo Futuro (New Future) Co-operative. They are learning to grow coffee using natural copmposting and existing forest shade, without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilisers. The trade developement partners of Equal Exchange empower farmers and their communities to realise their ambitions and dreams through long-term relationships. Farmers value trust. Partnerships based on trust and solidarity are providing: training and market information, guarenteed prices, advance payments, improved selection and quality control. Equal Exchange compromise on principle, and you won\'t be compromised on taste. This coffee is now part of the ‘Grown by Women’ range from Equal Exchange, and is sourced exclusively from women cooperatives. 227g.
