Their story
35+ years of fair trade
Alternativa3 was founded to offer ethical alternatives to everyday coffee, cacao and sugar. They work only with cooperatives that guarantee fair prices, labour rights, women’s empowerment and no child labour.
In-house roasting
They roast in-house with a medium-low profile to limit acrylamides and protect quality. The catalogue exceeds 400 references across specialty coffee, cacao and accessories.
From co-op to cup
Full traceability — grower to consumer — is the core of the project, for homes as well as hospitality and offices.
