Rogers' Gourmet Coffee & Tea Market
Celebrating our 30th Anniversary! 1979-2009
 If you're new to the Rogers Family Company and haven't yet tried our rich coffees or our exquisite teas, then welcome! No matter which brand of coffee or tea you choose, 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.
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.
Learn more about our commitment to environmental and social responsibility here at the links below or also at our company's main website, www.rogersfamilyco.com.
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 $1.26.
- Care for the Community - We spend upwards of $1,000,000 per year to create truly effective educational, nutritional, and healthcare 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.
