About the Roasted Record x Unblended Collaboration
The Roasted Record is a proud Unblended coffee roaster partner. Unblended supports young coffee producers in Colombia by providing funding, education, and resources for sustainable coffee farming. Then, Unblended imports young producers’ coffee beans directly to The Roasted Record. We use artisanal roasting methods to bring out the best flavors from these best-in-class coffee beans.
Most coffees marketed as “sustainable” are from the same major coffee producers. For a truly sustainable coffee industry, we need to spread the knowledge and purchasing power. The Roasted Record x Unblended’s goal is to develop more coffee producers rather than just supporting established ones. That is how we create more quality and creative coffee from thriving coffee farmers.
When you purchase The Roasted Record x Unblended Coffee, you support up-and-coming Colombian coffee farmers and the development of a fair and ethical coffee industry.
