certified organic and shade grown.

A typical Pachamama coffee farm is small, maybe a few acres in size, and is a thriving ecosystem brimming with life. Many foods are grown on these lands — bananas, nuts, spices and cacao — and there is an abundance of birds, bees, insects and worms that nourish the soil. Amongst this diversity Pachamama farmers also grow pristine Arabica coffee beans.

"When you buy Pachamama coffee you are directly supporting the coffee farmer who takes deep respect and pride in growing the best cup of coffee for you. We are thrilled to see BriarPatch open a new store in Auburn, spreading our shared belief in the power of the cooperative business model and showing that coops have a place to thrive in the greater Sacramento region, " says Co-Founder and CEO Thaleon Tremain.

Pachamama Coffee is a cooperative founded by radical visionaries in coffee communities around the world. They knew they could build a better future and better supply chain that benefitted coffee farmers and coffee drinkers alike. We love teaming up with Pachamama on campaigns like supporting the people of Ukraine in 2022.
