Pact Coffee is all about making coffee a force for good. We source specialty coffee, which we roast and grind then deliver the results to homes, offices, cafés, and hotels across the country. We were founded on the principle that businesses should do good, by doing well

How do we make coffee a force for good? With a 100% commitment to direct trade, and an investment and training programme that helps farmers change their lives for the better.
