Rogers' Gourmet Coffee & Tea Market
 Rogers Family Company Coffee Roasters - since 1979
Over 30 years ago, we decided we wanted a great cup of coffee. Before we knew it (ok maybe 15 years later), we were in Panama buying a tract of dry, trampled, cattle land and turning it into a lush, organic coffee farm. But that’s just how we are. When we set out to do something, we do it right.
Great coffee starts with the land and the farmer. It ends with roasting excellence. And in between if you put people before profit, you’ll have long-term relationships with the best coffee farmers in the world.
By growing, importing, and roasting some of the best coffee beans in the world, we’re making sustainably-farmed, fair, and direct trade coffee available to everyone at great prices.

No matter which brand of coffee or tea you choose from our family-run company, you can feel good knowing that the coffees and teas we grow, import, and roast stand up to our highest quality standards. All are sustainably grown and fairly traded. And all of our fine brands are our own - we do not distribute for other brands or companies. Please take the time to choose exactly the right brand for you.
 Fair, Direct Trade Coffee
Since we grow, import, and roast our own coffee, we have direct connections with our farmer partners and actually understand the true reality of a coffee and tea farmer or farm-worker.
Our experiences with our boots on the ground at the farms has given rise to have a deep commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Our goal is to work only with farms that display a real commitment to shade and organic farming and to develop programs that break the cycle of poverty on those farms.

Responsibly Grown & Delicious Coffee
Our shade grown & organic coffee helps protect the environment and makes a truly outstanding cup of coffee.
- We go directly to the source and buy only the best coffee we can find from shade-grown, bio-diverse farms - many of which are certified organic.
- We grow coffee on about 7 of our our own 100% organic coffee farms in Mexico and Central America. One - named Santa Barbara after co-founder Barbara Rogers - is located in Panama and is completely rehabilitated from formerly clear-cut cattle farms.
- We've perfected the art of coffee roasting during our 30 years in the business.

Fairly Traded
Our unique, Community Aid program is similar in many ways to the Fair Trade system but we believe it's even better.
- Care for Farmers - We set up long-term, above-market contracts to sustain coffee farmers through price fluctuations. The price we pay is always higher than the Fair Trade Certified price floor of $1.31.
- Care for the Community - We spend upwards of $1,000,000 per year to create truly effective educational, nutritional, and health care programs for our coffee workers and their families on every farm where we buy our coffee. We've built schools, medical clinics, and worker housing in impoverished communities where previously there were none.
