Shared Source is a green coffee agency that facilitates robust, transparent and equitable exchange between criteria-driven roasters and small producers. We practice a model that empowers these artisans to farm regeneratively and to make a real living from coffee.

We had ridiculous views like this (looking out over Tarqui, Huila) for the last ten days, and you know that can only mean one thing (the finalisation of a fresh Seattle bound container 😉). We’re 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻stoked with the quality our producer mates are demonstrating on the cupping table, and generally with quality as extended to embrace our quadruple bottom line approach. Hit up hello@sharedsource.co for more details about our model and about forthcoming offers.
Colombia is sure looking impressive this year by the standards we’ve seen from Huila so far!

Muestra Muestra read all about it! We love arriving on farms of long-term producer partners and finding big-time improvements. Luis Titimbo in Bruselas, Huila, has improved his on-farm parchment storage using grain-pro, has amped up his organic applications, and has made leaps and bounds in controlled fermentations. His coffee is yum town this year and as the mid-year fly crop merged straight into main harvest in Southern Huila, microlot samples just keep coming in from our smallholders. We’ve seen great sunshine recently and much better ripening conditions are giving us sweeter coffees. Coffees are afloat as we speak hint hint

Mi casa es muy bonita! Albert Caldon has almost finished building his FIRST house and FIRST wet-mill on his FIRST farm. Consistent high prices over the last four years have allowed this beautiful boy to move his young family out of Mama’s house and buy his own land. We’re all in this for the long game. Investing pesos in farms and buying coffee when it’s accidentally a bit shit is how meaningful development happens. And for the most part we get some truly flippin great coffee as a reward. Massive thumbs up. #independentsmallholders #parchmentpurchase #realtrade

Don’t sit on your culo any longer! We have had an EXCEPTIONAL season in Guatemala. Ecological smallholder microlots from folks like these in Huehue are killing it, even better than last year. Unique and oh-so exclusive...secured yours yet?
And in case you’ve been hiding and haven’t sampled our fresh crop Kenyans, there remain some stellar Co-Op and small estate lots on our list. And finally, Ethiopia! Exclusive private export lots just landed (Guji anyone?) and the very last bags of darling Duromina Co-Op are crazily unaccounted for ... hello@sharedsource.co is where to find us

Up in them Colombian mountains again, talking plenty of talk and walking even more walk.
