Revolver World Coffee

June 9th, 2010

Revolver World fairtrade Coffee

As a Fairtrade company with the aim of empowering developing world producers, Revolver World has been looking to expand the range of Fairtrade products we supply. As coffee production largely sustains the livelihood of third world producers, Revolver World has decided that this is the next step to take in building our passion for Fairtrade.

Coffee is produced in over 40 different countries and by entering this industry; Revolver World will have the opportunity to impact the lives of the producing communities. As we embark on this mission we are guaranteed to stretch our tentacles and build on our core values as a non-for-profit organisation. Having looked into the Fairtrade market, we have noticed that coffee is the most popular commodity associated with Fairtrade and as a result of this; it would be a natural progression for Revolver World.

Revolver World will be sure to keep you updated on the launch of our Fairtrade certified coffee which should be hitting (and hopefully flying off) the shelves of the Co-op sometime in the near future so watch this space.

There's an awful lot of coffee in Brazil, but how much of it is grown according to the principles of spiritual guru Rudolf Steiner? Andrew Purvis talks to the farmers dedicated to helping the poor, respecting the workers – and producing some of the happiest skinny lattes on the planet

They call this place Terramater – "Earth Mother" – and the coffee bushes on Adeodato Menezes's small farm seem imbued with that spirit. "It's like a woman breastfeeding," the 63-year-old says, bending down to caress the ripe Catuai cherries low down on the bush. "These are her new babies," he adds, straightening up to touch the tightly furled leaves, green and tender, that will fruit the following year. It's not the kind of language I am used to on coffee farms – but Terramater, in the Chapada Diamantina region of Bahia state, in north-east Brazil, is far more than that. Set up as a Findhorn-style alternative community in the 1980s, it partly serves as a residential centre for disadvantaged teenagers from the favelas (slums) who are students of sistema agroflorestal – a farming system that combines the cultivation of commercial crops with the planting of native trees. It's a way of preserving the forest environment and rekindling skills used by indigenous people. On this subject Menezes is a world expert. » Read more: Op-Ed: Smell the Biodynamic Coffee
