Rooted in tradition, our story is one of legacy, passion, sustainability, and community empowerment.
Get YoursAt Sumseron Coffee, we are more than just coffee producers and exporters. We are storytellers, connecting roasters, global buyers and producers through a relationship coffee model built on trust and transparency. Every cup of our coffee carries a story of dedication, sustainability, and community. It all starts with passionate farmers who carefully cultivate each bean using eco-friendly and ethical practices. We embrace shade-grown coffee and organic composting to keep the soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and nurture a thriving ecosystem. By using water-efficient processing methods, we also ensure that every step of our journey respects the land we call home. Coffee is just the beginning. Through our relationship coffee model, we bridge the gap between producers and roasters, creating long-term partnerships that benefit everyone in the supply chain. We work closely with local farmers, organisations, and humanitarian initiatives to create real change. Through training programs, fair pricing, and community projects, we empower farmers and their families, building a future where sustainability and quality go hand in hand.
Our commitment extends beyond coffee production; it is deeply rooted in social impact. Through partnerships with initiatives like the Mercy Koros Foundation, we have rehabilitated youth from drugs to more impactful initiatives in the society. We also support women's economic independence through programs such as Growing Women in Coffee, fostering equitable opportunities for female farmers. By prioritizing ethical sourcing, fair trade, and community-driven projects, we strive to make a meaningful difference—ensuring that every sip of Sumseron Coffee contributes to a more sustainable and just world.
