We believe this coffee business is a gift and is here to do more for all of the people it touches, not just our team of coffee loving people, but their families and the families of the growers, importers and shippers. It takes a lot of people to get these coffee beans into a cup of coffee and into your hand.

Yes, you might know that in every Valerio bag is exclusively Certifies Organic Coffee, but did you know that we have many years of sourcing experience and special long-standing relationships with growers, cooperative farming groups and importers? They know our quality standards, expectations and needs. They know we only source high grown specialty coffee with a distinct taste characteristic. These teams are critical to capabilities in curating specific coffees from many different regions of the world.

We seek out small farms and co-operatives who are not only growing the best organic coffee but who are also certified Fair Trade. This means we pay more per pound so that extra money is guaranteed to go into a Community Development Fund where cooperative farm members democratically decide how to use these financial resources in their local community to improve their lives and meet their unique social, environmental, and economic needs that are not being met by their government or financial sector.

This group of efforts across the globe is what makes a Valerio bag an even more great rating, 100% Organic coffee.
