Our Values
Our values are woven throughout our business. We strive to maintain balance in our community and throughout the world by considering all aspects of life, from farm to cup. We have compassion for the people and the environment found at all stages of our supply chain. Therefore, we feel our responsibilities extend to the farmers who grow our beans and to the land they cultivate. That is why we support the local women and their families in the coffee growing regions we seek out. We separate ourselves from our competitors by contributing profits back to our farmers.
Authenticity and creativity are also values we cherish at Mutu Coffee Roasters. It’s important that we stay true to who we are as a company and as individuals.
