Our Growers
About the growers of the coffee
We source our coffee from estates that support local growers and share our ethical vision; working in a sustainable, socially and environmentally responsible way whilst putting quality first.
Excellent coffee doesn’t have to cost the Earth.
San Pedro has long-standing relationships with the following estates.
Peru
The Bosques Verdes Estate in Peru is certified Organic (2006), Fair Trade (2006) and Sustainable (2013). These certifications validate the hard work, commitment, and responsibility of the entire team at Bosques Verdes. They are part of the Green Forest Cooperative, which links over 200 small family-run coffee producers, with the principles of quality, social responsibility, environment and sustainability.
El Salvador
Established in 1985, the El Borbollon Estate in El Salvador has been run by generations of the same family. El Borbollon prides itself in producing and milling high-quality coffee through careful attention to detail at every stage of the process. Their coffee is all hand-picked, and the well-being of their staff is paramount. They have a zero-tolerance policy for child labour and provide health-care plans for their workers. The company also runs a zero-waste policy and a continuous tree-planting scheme.
Brazil
Ipanema Coffees have been delivering specialty coffees to over 25 countries worldwide, since the company was established in 1969, in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
They were the first Brazilian company to be certified by the UTZ Kapeh Code, the first global certification on sustainable coffee production. In 2004 they joined the select group of Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. The main goal of this certification is to preserve and restore native forests. By creating green corridors between forest reserve areas, wild animals are able to roam freely through their farms.
