The Ethics Behind Every Sip: Specialty-Grade Coffee from Ski Bum Coffee Co

At Ski Bum Coffee Co®, we’re passionate about more than just brewing a great cup—we care about where our coffee comes from, how it’s sourced, and the impact it has on the communities that cultivate it. That’s why our specialty-grade coffee is direct trade through International Coffee Trading (ICT) and ethically traded, ensuring that every sip you take supports a sustainable and fair supply chain.

What Is Direct Trade Coffee?

Direct trade means we work closely with trusted partners like ICT to source our coffee directly from farmers and cooperatives. This approach cuts out unnecessary middlemen, allowing farmers to receive higher wages for their crops and reinvest in their communities. By establishing long-term relationships with coffee producers, we ensure quality, consistency, and ethical business practices.

Ethically Traded: More Than Just a Label

Ethical trading goes beyond fair prices—it’s about fostering sustainability, supporting environmentally responsible farming, and improving the livelihoods of coffee-growing communities. ICT partners with producers who prioritize eco-friendly growing practices, fair labor conditions, and social initiatives that benefit farming families.

Why It Matters

When you choose Ski Bum Coffee Co®, you're not just fueling your winter adventures—you’re making a conscious choice to support ethical sourcing and sustainable farming. Whether you’re sipping on our single-origin roasts or enjoying a bold espresso blend, you can feel good knowing that your coffee is making a difference.
