Founded by Hippolyte Courty in 2009, L'Arbre à Café is the France's Pioneer of Specialty Coffee and Mission-Driven Company. We are the essential reference for professionals and connoisseurs who demand both gustatory excellence and a positive impact. Our signature taste is the result of a unique "Tree to Cup" mastery of the entire value chain and our true commitments. The Earth & The Taste : We collaborate through Direct Trade and long-term partnerships with approximately fifteen producers. Our certified coffees come from the most demanding agricultural practices: regenerative, Organic, Biodynamic, and diversified Agroforestry. We are also producers ourselves, operating two key biodynamic farms—Finca Mariposa in Peru and Golden Farm in Ethiopia —accompanying the bean from the plantation to the final transmission. The People & The Planet : As a natively committed Société à Mission, we supply sustainable coffee equipment, offset 100% of our emissions and deal with green transport and energy. Our model proves that respecting the earth, improving the soil quality and the daily life of the approximately 70 million producers who cultivate it is the only source of the highest quality taste, now and tomorow.
