Do you run or work for an ethical coffee company? Perhaps you roast, grow, or sell only one-origin beans or grounds, or you have a strict policy on the traceability of your sources. Perhaps you really care about offering high-quality coffee at every point in the supply chain and only use Fairtrade or organic beans.
