Notes on Direct Trade: Colombia El Jordan Impact Report

Ever wondered what “Direct Trade” actually means? Here at Stumptown, it means that we know our producers, we pay high prices for high quality, and we build sourcing relationships that last. We’re proud of the way we source our coffee, but we don’t expect you to take our word for it -- which is why we commissioned our first-ever third-party impact report along with our partners at Caravela.
