Fair Trade & Social engagement

“That's me, Thomas Schwegler. I'm a Swiss coffee lover who has always believed that you can make great tasting premium coffee without the big industry practices that harm flavour and farmers alike. So my Peruvian wife, Gisella, and I started a family run farm in 2006 with a mission to show the world how sustainable, organic gourmet coffee should be made."
 

“Hands up who knows where Switzerland is?”
We are committed to investing in the Tropical Mountains Foundation. This supports local schools and funds vital community projects.

Pablo is our most experienced coffee harvester. He and his colleagues know everything about natural farming. With their expertise, we have created a business that is sustainable and environmentally responsible.

We support them and their families because they are a part of our family too.

On our small, family-owned farm in Peru we believe that nature knows best. Everything we do is sustainable and organic. Our coffee trees grow beneath the tropical sun, well protected by the shade of the native flora.

And we never use chemicals as they can damage the surrounding ecosystem. Our precious hand-picked harvest is handled with great care. The beans are roasted slowly to bring out the best flavour, which ensures a more balanced, healthier cup of coffee. And it's vegan too.

By purchasing Tropical Mountains, you are directly supporting the Western Andes coffee growing region of Peru and the lives and families of local farmers.
