Rwanda coffee producer Bernard Uwitije with female worker cultivating baby coffee seedlings

We believe the work of a coffee producer deserves to be rewarded. In order to build economic and agricultural sustainability, Project Origin pays premium prices for green beans, we created our Regionals program to purchase small microlots that would otherwise be forgotten, developed processing techniques to increase coffee quality leading to greater incomes, and invested in community projects to help better the livelihoods of those who contribute to the coffee farms. To continue this work, we share our programs with our roasting partners, believing in the power of transparency along the supply chain.

Our Core Values

Quality

Quality, for us, is more than just a cupping score. We take the relationship of score, cup profile, price and purpose to stamp our Project Origin mark of value on a coffee.

Sustainability

We take economic sustainability seriously. By working with farmers and producers directly, we can help create a sustainable business model that helps them both thrive and produce high quality specialty coffee beans.

Community

We value the community efforts that go into producing coffee and so we invest in projects that can better both the quality of the coffee and livelihoods of those working to produce it.
