About Bunafide coffee
At Bunafide, we believe that good coffee starts with honesty. We make quality coffee with care for people and origin, and are building a more transparent coffee chain, step by step. No empty claims, but visible progress.
We work with roasteries that carry certifications such as Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade. The more people choose Bunafide, the better we can improve our chain and get closer to direct purchasing from farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya.
Our mission is simple: pure coffee, pure conscience. By being open about origin, costs and choices, we show that every cup counts. Bunafide is on its way to a coffee world that is in harmony with taste, with people and with the planet.
Our growth towards fair coffee
Transparency doesn't happen overnight. We're working in phases towards a completely fair and transparent coffee chain. Each step brings us closer to direct collaboration with farmers and a fair price for everyone in the chain.
Phase 1: Awareness and Foundation
We purchase from Dutch roasteries that work with certifications such as Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, and Organic. This phase is about awareness: we highlight the problem while simultaneously guaranteeing high-quality coffee.
Phase 2: Beginning of Direct Sourcing
We start building our own relationships with farmers. The more people choose Bunafide, the more we can invest in this step. This lays the foundation for true transparency and direct trade.
Phase 3: Direct Purchasing
We now purchase directly from farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya. The chain becomes shorter, and the price distribution fairer. The consumer pays a little more but knows exactly where that difference goes. This is the step where we make an impact truly visible.
Phase 4: Making the Process More Sustainable
Once the direct chain is established, we focus on sustainability. From packaging materials to local projects with the farmer. We invest in better working conditions, nature conservation, and sustainable growth.
Phase 5: Long-term Change
In the long term, we want to support multiple farmers and strengthen local communities. Not only through fair trade but also by investing in the future of the villages and the surrounding nature.
On the road together
Every cup of Bunafide coffee is a step towards a fairer coffee world. By purchasing from us, you directly contribute to a chain that is becoming more transparent, equitable, and sustainable.
With your purchase, you help us:
-
Shorten the supply chain. We are working step by step towards direct sourcing from farmers, so that there are fewer intermediaries and more value remains at the source.
-
Fairly compensate farmers. By making conscious choices about sourcing and pricing, we ensure that the people who grow the beans truly benefit.
-
Increase transparency. We openly share what we know, where we stand, and what we still want to improve. In this way, you contribute to a transparent coffee supply chain.
-
Stimulate sustainable growth. The more people choose Bunafide, the more we can invest in making processes, materials, and local projects more sustainable.
So you're not just buying coffee, you're buying progress. Small steps that together make a big difference for farmers, for nature, and for everyone who loves coffee that makes sense.
