Let’s Talk Coffee (LTC) is the hallmark of Sustainable Harvest’s Relationship Coffee model. It’s an annual event that brings together all members of the specialty coffee supply chain to help build trusting, transparent, sustainable relationships. Sustainable Harvest is a green specialty coffee importer with a unique mission to link small holder growers to better paying markets using a concept it created called “Relationship Coffee.” Sustainable Harvest was the first importer to focus exclusively on organic, shade-grown, and fair trade specialty coffees. The Specialty Coffee Association of America awarded Sustainable Harvest the 2006 Sustainability Award for the creation and development of the idea of “Relationship Coffee”, for this new business model which has helped thousands of small coffee farmers and communities. This video is to share how small companies can start an industry trend by creating innovative and sustainable business trade relationships between growers and buyers.
