What an incredible journey! ☕

Our Lincoln & York team, including Chris Tough and Dave Loan, recently returned from an inspiring trip to Kenya. We had the privilege of visiting a range of coffee farms and attending the world-renowned Nairobi Coffee Exchange auction. Kenya’s auctions are celebrated globally for their transparency and exceptional quality and are true cornerstones of the green coffee trade.

The trip didn’t stop there. We also visited our partners in Burundi, where we’ve proudly supported the construction of a reservoir in Kinama. This project is providing clean water to the local coffee farming community, a tangible step toward sustainability and better livelihoods.

Thank you to all the farmers, partners, and communities who welcomed us and shared their stories. Together, we’re building a stronger, more sustainable coffee future!
