Santaromero

Turin, Italy

Direct-trade Colombian coffee importer and micro-roaster founded by Gabriela and Francesco, who met studying gastronomic sciences in Pollenzo before spending a year visiting producers across Colombia's coffee-growing regions. Imports green coffee directly from small farms, prioritizing fair pricing, traceability and long-term relationships with growers over anonymous commodity buying. Roasts in small batches in Turin and sells direct-to-consumer online and through wholesale. Also trades as "Café Honesto". Source: santaromerocoffee.com.
