Coffee. People. Potential. That’s the tag line of Long Miles Coffee, which sums up well their approach to buying and processing coffee and to how they invest in the communities in which they work. Their vision was to foster “meaningful and lasting change in the lives of Burundian coffee farmers and the coffee they produce”; it’s hard to imagine a business or organization doing it better. Since 2011, they’ve built three coffee processing mills in the remote hills of Burundi and expanded to Kenya and Uganda. Over that time they’ve started initiatives to reforest, provide agronomist training and fertilizer, and pay above Fair Trade premiums for quality. Honestly, that’s just the tip of the ice berg. Their coffees have also been recognized throughout the world for their clean, fruit forward, and consistent flavor profiles.
