FAQs
We should make it clear that Pact like Fairtrade, they do some great work in the coffee commodity market, but speciality coffee is just a different kettle of fish! Fairtrade guarantees a minimum price for farmers' coffee beans (and a social premium for the community) but they can’t guarantee the quality of the beans - something that Pact prides itself on.
We can guarantee that all of our coffee was bought at a higher price than the Fairtrade rate because we pay more for great quality coffee beans. What’s more, if we like their coffee, we return year after year to buy their harvest. This fosters a strong and long-lasting relationship, enabling the farmer to have increased economic security and our customers to taste the coffee they love year after year.
We do not recommend storing your coffee in the fridge. Because the coffee is fresh, moving it in and out of the cold will cause condensation to form, which damages the coffee.
