LWR is producing LWR Farmers Market Coffee in partnership with THRIVE Farmers. THRIVE partners with farmers to bring high-quality coffee beans from their farms and roast those beans into delicious coffee. Farmers are given a stable, predictable, and higher price upfront for their beans. What happens afterwards is what truly makes this model exciting. Farming communities receive additional profits after the coffee is sold. With LWR Farmers Market Coffee, farmers aren’t just suppliers of coffee beans, they are partners in the coffee business.

THRIVE Farmers shares LWR’s passion for giving coffee farmers new opportunities and a helping hand to their families and communities. LWR connects THRIVE Farmers to coffee farmers LWR supports around the world. THRIVE then partners directly with those farmers and roasts those beans into delicious coffee, and sells it to you. LWR and THRIVE work together to set goals every year so we can bring this beneficial partnership to more farmers.

Our care for farmers is matched by our care for the quality of their coffee. Through our long-term relationships with farmers and regular visits to their farms, we maintain an intimate knowledge of the coffee harvest and the quality of the beans.

We have a rigorous system for quality control from bean to cup, which involves testing quality multiple times before the coffee even leaves the country where it was produced, testing it again once it arrives in the U. S., and yet again after it is roasted before going to the consumer. THRIVE has two Coffee Quality Institute Q-graders on staff full-time to ensure the highest quality standards are met.

Our coffee is decaffeinated using a water-based process that keeps all those unnecessary chemicals out of your coffee. This process introduces all of the compounds that are found in coffee into a water solution, except for caffeine. The raw coffee then is placed in the water and through the process of osmosis, the caffeine leaves the coffee bean gradually and enters into the water solution. In the end, we have decaffeinated coffee that was not damaged or contaminated with chemicals during the decaffeination process.

We are not a certification. We are an economically sustainable platform that offers coffee farmers access to new markets where they can to sell to customers like you. We have transformed the coffee supply chain through a model that shares more of the revenue generated by your purchase with the farmer. Our model minimizes the layers in the supply chain and maximizes the income to the farmer. Our farmer-direct coffee platform offers you a reasonable price for great quality coffee and sends a larger percentage of the proceeds back to the farmers. You are now closer to the farmer and the farmer is closer to you, the consumer. The result? You are helping farmers earn more to support their farm, family and community.

There is no use of GMOs in coffee. For more information, please see www.ncausa.org.

Our coffees are grown and picked at a high altitude from our partner farms, processed through a mill, and exported for your enjoyment and satisfaction. Once here in the U.S., the coffee is roasted to the optimal profile and packaged in order to ensure that when it gets to you it is of the best quality and freshness.

"Coffee Cupping" is an industry-defined process of evaluating and grading coffee in a standardized way that eliminates the subjectivity of a person’s preference and helps identify the quality of a coffee.
