Choosing Pachamama Is Making a Difference

Pachamama Coffee’s model is unique. First of all because the farmers are the owners of Pachamama Coffee. This not only generates wealth for our families and our communities, but also provides dignity. We are the owners in the entire coffee chain, so it provides dignity for the farmer.
