To acknowledge the outstanding quality in the cup, we have chosen to pay 313% above the market price for Neyver's coffee. We call it a 'quality bonus' so you know the direct impact your coffee choice has on the farmer. Thank you for being a part of this rewarding journey.
We have laid out all the numbers for you in our Transparency Report.
About Neyver
In the highlands of Cajamarca, Peru, Neyver produces coffee that embodies both innovation and tradition. At an impressive altitude, the farm’s cooler temperatures slows cherry development, enhancing the coffee’s aromatic complexity.
Neyver, at just 24, has revolutionized his grandparents’ modest farmby introducing precise fermentation and meticulous drying methods, such as a 48-hour fermentation and controlled drying that ensure clean and vibrant flavors.
His washed Gesha, with its floral notes, reflects both the exceptional terroir and Neyver’s unwavering commitment to quality.
How much is the farmer paid?
Coffee Collective trades directly with producers, ensuring that the payment goes into the right hands. When you purchase a bag of coffee you will know how much the producer is paid.
Transparency in coffee prices
The graph above shows you the difference between the quality bonus and the ICO market price, as well as the Fairtrade price. Neither the market price nor Fairtrade clearly and transparently informs you about how much money actually reaches the farmers.
In contrast, the quality bonus provides you with a market comparison that is transparent.
The brown pillar represents the price that Coffee Collective paid directly to Neyver. This is the price we paid above the market price. Therefore, Neyver received 11,5 per pound for this harvest.
