Starbucks Coffee Beans Supplier. We aim to have 100% of our coffee certified or verified by an independent third party. Suppliers must submit evidence of payments made throughout the coffee supply chain to demonstrate how much of the price that we pay for green coffee gets to the farmer.
It’s not like engaging a few vendors to supply coffee to the designated warehouses. We've always believed in buying and serving the best coffee possible. And it's our goal for all of our coffee to be grown under the highest standards of quality, using ethical trading and responsible growing practices.
Only if the suppliers meets these requirements, will starbucks source coffee beans from these plantations.
Starbucks bought 367 million pounds (167 million kilograms) of coffee in the 2009 financial year. Making coffee the world’s first sustainable product to improve the lives of at least 1 million people in coffee communities around the world. Smooth, robust and gives a strong finish with charcoal undertone. It starts from the coffee farmers.
