Collection: ORGANIC VALERIO

 

A note from our roastmaster
about organic
Valerio!


We believe this little 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 that coffee bean into a cup of coffee and into your hand.



Yes, of course you know in that Valerio bag is only Certified 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, wants and needs. They know we only source high grown specialty coffee with a distinct taste characteristic. Our coffee is bought from many different regions of the world. 

Did you know we look for small farms and co-operatives who are not only growing really good Organic coffee but who’s coffee is also certified Fair Trade? This means we pay more per pound so extra funds go into a Community Development Fund where cooperative farm members democratically decide how to use these funds in their local community to improve their lives and meet their unique social, environmental, and economic needs that are not being met by the local government or financial sector. That in itself makes a Valerio bag an even more great tasting, 100% Organic coffee.



Fun fact! Valerio Coffee is small enough to find and roast unique coffee, but is also a large enough company to be regulated by the FDA and the Department of Agriculture, and get visits often? We hope that you find comfort in knowing that not only do we want to operate with the highest of production standards, but we are required to. Yes, small roasters just starting out have no one watching and assuring the high requirements of the FDA and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
Freshness guaranteed! Our roasted coffee is shipped fresh within 72 hours of an order being placed. Batch numbers are on all roasts and are tracked using profile technology. This assures you that steps are taken to enhance the quality of our coffee. 

We also ensure the responsible management of carbon emissions. Our roasters, though not large enough to be required, are connected to an afterburner, minimizing any smoke into the atmosphere. We believe it is our responsibility to do what we can so that our planet is able to grow coffee for generations and years to come.

Thank you for your purchase of Valerio Coffee, you are helping many people one cup at a time.



Sincerely, 


Anthony Valerio
