Join us for a conversation with Tripp Pomeroy as he shares his journey from co-owning Café Campesino—a green coffee importer dedicated to fair and sustainable farmer-roaster relationships—to leading Sweetwater Organic Coffee. We’ll explore their commitment to Fair Trade, organic practices, and long-term partnerships that prioritize ethics and sustainability.
He debunks the myth that Fair Trade coffee is more expensive and explains how sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand. We also discuss Sweetwater’s response to COVID-19—protecting staff, supporting trading partners, and adapting business operations.
Tripp reflects on how the pandemic has created new opportunities for connection and education in the coffee industry. Plus, we dive into the benefits of organic coffee, from superior taste to carbon sequestration. Don't miss this insightful episode!
