Blog Post Introduction
At Frazer’s Coffee Roasters, every cup tells a story that begins far beyond Sheffield. Our passion for coffee goes hand-in-hand with our commitment to ethical sourcing, quality, and community. That’s why we travel the globe to build direct relationships with coffee farmers—bringing you the freshest, most sustainable beans while supporting the people and places behind every blend.
Section 1: The Journey of Our Beans – Direct from Farm to Cup
Unlike many roasters, we don’t just buy beans—we visit farms in 12 different countries, hand-selecting each lot to ensure quality and sustainability. From the lush hills of Colombia to the highlands of Peru and the volcanic soil of Uganda, our journey is about more than coffee. It’s about building trust, paying above industry standards, and working together for a better future.
Why does direct trade matter?
- We know exactly where our beans come from and who grows them
- Farmers receive fair prices and recognition for their craft
- You enjoy unique, traceable flavors in every cup
The Impact – Supporting Farmers and Sustainability
Our direct trade model means more than just great coffee—it means real impact:
- Fair Compensation: We pay above industry standards, ensuring farmers and their communities benefit directly.
- Sustainable Practices: Many of our partners are certified organic, Fairtrade, or Rainforest Alliance, and we support their efforts to protect the environment.
- Quality at Every Step: By working closely with growers, we can select the best beans and maintain freshness with our “roast to order” approach.
