How We Support FairTrade:
Empowering Farmers Through Ethical Coffee
We combine great taste with social responsibility
At Bristol Twenty Coffee Company, we believe that coffee should taste good and do good too. That’s why we’re passionate about supporting ethical coffee practices that not only deliver a rich, satisfying brew but also empower the people who grow it. Through our commitment to Fairtrade and direct partnerships, we’re helping to build a better, more sustainable coffee industry from the ground up.
Our Espresso Coffee Philosophy
Our espresso coffee philosophy is simple. Our portfolio comprises 16 different espresso blends including organic, Fairtrade, and Rainforest Alliance certified coffee. We source the very best green beans from around the globe and roast daily for maximum freshness.
When we started Bristol Twenty Coffee Company, we knew that we wanted quality and responsibility to define us. But when we took the leap to roasting our own coffee in 2014, that idea of responsibility became paramount. We had to decide how to maintain a focus on quality coffee while being responsible members of the complex supply chain that is coffee.
What Is Ethical Coffee?
Ethical coffee is about more than just quality. It’s a commitment to fairness, sustainability, and respect for the environment and the people behind the beans. This includes ensuring that coffee farmers are paid fairly, work under safe conditions, and are supported in building thriving, resilient communities.
Our Fairtrade Commitment
Fair Trade certification is one of the key ways we uphold ethical standards in our supply chain. When you choose a Fair Trade certified coffee from Bristol Twenty, you’re supporting:
- Fair prices that allow farmers to cover their production costs and invest in their future.
- Community development, with a portion of profits going back into education, healthcare, and infrastructure in farming regions.
- Environmental sustainability through practices that protect ecosystems and reduce harmful pesticides.
Fairtrade is not just a label to us, its a promise.
Going Beyond the Label
While certifications are important, we also go a step further by building direct relationships with the farmers and cooperatives who grow our beans. This allows us to:
- Ensure transparency and traceability in our coffee’s journey.
- Collaborate on quality improvement and sustainable farming techniques.
- Offer financial stability through long-term purchasing agreements.
Direct trade means we know the stories behind our coffee, and we’re proud to share them with you.
