At Kittel, we attach great value to the quality of our relationships. Whether it's with our customers, our employees, our importers and the people who grow the coffee we proudly roast. Building strong relationships allows us to grow with our suppliers and customers as well as develop sustainable business models with other coffee industry stakeholders. For this reason, we have worked with reputable and transparent importers as well as, where possible, directly with farms to maximize the impact created by our purchases.

In our very first transparency report you will learn more about our direct trade partnership with Finca Nueva Armenia in Guatemala and our activities in Brazil. We will describe our constant efforts to reduce our ecological footprint, since we believe that our environmental impact is just as important as our financial impact. Additionally, we will provide a full list of the FOB prices we paid for our coffee purchases in 2018.
