Did you know you can trace our current coffee lots to follow the path of our coffee beans from crop
to cup? In fact, you can find all of our coffee contracts at fairtradeproof.org. We take pride in knowing exactly where our coffee comes from and sharing that information with our customers. We believe that transparency makes fairness possible, because it makes hiding the truth impossible.
Sweetwater Organic Coffee is proud to be a member of Cooperative Coffees, a cooperative of independent roasters throughout the US and Canada who are committed to fair trade as a long-term partnership between farmers and roasters. For us, paying a fair price is just the beginning of this relationship. Our trade model includes pre-financing, sharing information, and working together to create higher quality coffee and build sustainable trade relationships for the benefit of farmers and their exporting cooperatives, families, and communities.

We first has Carpe Diem while visiting family in Gainesville. Being from Atlanta, we used to stock up at Ward's on our way out of town each visit. Then discovered we could order online -- which we've been doing for several years. Can't live without my morning Sweetwater!
