If you love coffee then you really need to check this company out. I now get a different bag of coffee sent to me directly each fortnight or so, and I’m finding it inspiring. I love the philosophy of this company, the way they work, the fact they still a relatively young startup but are growing rapidly.

They wrote a great blog post themselves, explaining why they don’t support fair trade. What many don’t know is that Fairtrade is an auditing firm; companies pay Fairtrade to audit their farms for safe and fair practices, and in turn farmers are guaranteed to be paid minimum wage.

Pact actually pay above the board to the farmers of the coffee that they supply, which also allows them to maintain their own quality standards. The company says that Fairtrade was a revelation when first introduced nearly 20 years ago, but times have changed, and more can be done running independently of this third party.

By cutting out the middleman, Pact are able to deal directly with the farmers and suppliers of coffee beans and able to support them and listen to their thoughts on the whole farming principle.
