Interview with Raul del Aguila of COCLA-Peru of the Pachamama Cooperative

WE ARE COFFEE FARMERS!

Pachamama is a unique company owned by more than 100,000 coffee farmers around the world. Our farmers ship their best organic coffee to the USA from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Peru, Nicaragua and Mexico. We hand-roast in small batches in the U.S.A. and ship direct to customers in North America. Our mission is to provide customers with premium coffee in the most direct manner possible and, in doing so, improve the lives of small-scale farmers and their families.
