Our Delicious Haitian Coffee :

This coffee is not run of the mill fundraiser coffee; it’s gourmet quality, rare and exotic. Moreover, this coffee is natural, shade grown and traded fairly.

We chose Haitian coffee deliberately: Haitians were once the world’s best coffee exporter, producing an excellent bean - which is STILL the case. The country is one of the world’s poorest, and why not support their economy [through coffee buying and other projects]. Great beans + need some help = obvious solution.

We partner with Fair Traders who also believe sharing makes the world a better place. We support Haitian farmers; we buy beans directly from grower co-ops and even roast in a fair trade co-op.

About our Coffee : Our Haitian Mountain Bleu coffee comes from the same type of coffee plant & is grown in a similar region as the wildly successful Jamaican Blue bean - but at a fraction of the price. In Miami, Jamaican blue sells for as much as $49 a pound. Our Haitian coffee retails for less than $12 a pound.

Our coffee is from a single origin and is natural; natural crops mean a better coffee, a better environment. Put simply, Haitian farmers can’t afford chemicals; they use natural and organic methods like composting and shade-grown farming techniques. Haitian bleu coffee growers hand pick coffee cherries; wet processing techniques yield a unique blue-green colored bean.

Our RARE Haitian Mountain Blue roast is rich, nutty & SMOOTH; cool nights at high altitudes produce gentle & FLAVORFUL coffees!

Air Roasting Makes it Better : We ship these BEAUTIFUL, raw beans from Haiti to the U.S. for roasting; we roast in small batches in an air-roaster to cultivate the natural nuances of the beans to a medium dark roast. Unlike traditional drum roasting, air-roasting does not add smoke and flame to the roast. This allows for a clean cup and yields FRESH and EXCELLENT tasting coffee that is perfectly balanced in body and acidity.

Shipping -- We’re Fast : The coffee ships quickly - within 48 business hours and you'll get it in about 3-4 days depending on where you are in the country [we’re in Madison, WI].
