In Their Own Words: Nectar of Life Coffee Company is a gourmet coffee roaster located just outside Coeur d’Alene, Idaho just miles from Spokane, Washington. We are a kosher certified coffee roaster that only roasts shade grown, certified organic Fair Trade coffees. We believe in preserving the environment and social justice. We use energy efficient roasters and have a local box reuse program.
Martin and Hannah Jennings founded nectar of Life Coffee Company in January 2003. Their quest was (and is) first, to roast only the finest gourmet Arabica coffees, and second, to roast only coffees that are certified both organic and Fair Trade. It is Nectar of Life’s belief that the best way to make Fair Trade certified coffees a staple, instead of a novelty, is to provide the public with organic Fair Trade coffees that rival the world’s finest gourmet coffees and to offer these coffees at a reasonable price. Since its foundation, Nectar of Life Coffee Co. has grown to symbolize the pinnacle of gourmet organic coffee and has firmly stood on its guiding principles of ecological and social responsibility.
Nectar of Life Coffee Company only roasts certified organic, Fair Trade, shade grown (when possible) gourmet coffees. We never use robusta coffees and only source the finest Arabica varieties. Nectar of Life is a USDA certified organic coffee roaster and a Fair Trade certified coffee roaster. In addition to our commitment to organic and Fair Trade standards Nectar of Life is also a certified kosher coffee roaster.
Nectar of Life’s Feed the Farmers Program: To combat tough economic times, Nectar of Life has developed the Feed the Farmers program. Once a week they roast 100 bags of whole bean coffee and sell it at a discount for only $7.99/10 oz bag. They rotate through all of their premium Fair Trade Organic Coffees (decaf. excluded), and they even offer limited edition, specialty coffees that are normally only available to the Coffee of the Month Club. All of these coffees are premium grade Arabica shade grown, certified Fair Trade organic coffees, and there is a limit of 8 bags of discount coffee per household per week. Only 100 bags will be roasted per week, and when they’re gone, they’re gone! So if you want to support Fair Trade and enjoy some truly gourmet coffee on a budget, check the program out here, and be sure to sign up!
