Roaster notes
Long Miles Coffee Project (LMCP)represents a new kind of export relationship. LMCP is dedicated to representing the actual hill your coffee selection was grown on. Through traceable microlot detailing they partner with farmers with agricultural assistance from seed to processing helping the farmer produce the quality that drives a higher price and provides the relationship to Passenger Coffee Roasters. LMCP is the force behind the Heza washing station, where this coffee hails from. 291 families contribute to this lot and the project ensures higher prices paid for quality practice and a bridge to purchasing.
Roaster
Passenger is a specialty coffee roasting company and a purveyor of fine teas based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. From day one, our mission has been simple: to seek out and thoughtfully present extraordinary coffees and teas sourced from long-term, farmer-focused partnerships. We believe in using business as a force for good – whether it's supporting our local community or fostering the global partnerships that make our products possible. By purchasing the vast majority (over 95%) of our coffee from seven key producers - known as our Foundational Partners - and preserving all green coffee contracted in frozen storage year-round, we’re able to maintain a rare standard of quality consistency. Our protocols have been thoughtfully refined to ensure that our partners' work is shared at peak potential, with each and every roast.
