Meet Centri Coffee: From 1980 Organic Pioneer to Ethical Excellence

We're inspired to introduce Centri Coffee, built upon a strong legacy of organic and ethical coffee production, rooted in Clean Foods Inc./Cafe Altura—the family-owned parent company noted for being one of the first to champion sustainable sourcing, importing the first organic coffee into the U.S. in 1980. This history established their decades-long commitment to natural, high-quality, and ethically sourced coffee, guided by their core philosophy: "To roast excellent coffee and pioneer new experiences in ways that care for people and the environment," proving their commitment through Certified Organic by CCOF Certification Services, paying prices above Fair Trade rates to allow co-operatives and family-owned farms like CAUFUL in Honduras to reinvest in their farms, improve quality, and nurture the next generation, with meticulous craftsmanship specializing in Single Origin, Dark Roasts, and Blends preserved with nitrogen before shipping—more than just a coffee company, a continuation of a legacy dedicated to sustainability, quality, and the people who make their coffee exceptional.
