High Street Hero - Colombian Coffee

Founded by Eduardo Florez, The Colombian Coffee Company is a social enterprise dedicated to introducing high quality coffee beans, direct from farmers in the South American country of Colombia, to the UK. The coffees are all single origin varieties, including caturra, typica, castillo, borbón and gesha. By buying them directly from farmers at a fair price, Eduardo and his team are able to provide a reliable source of income for communities scarred by a decades-long civil war and the harsh nature of the global commodities markets. The profits are invested back into local social projects, so it is not just the coffee growers themselves who benefit.
