Happy Holidays Pemberton!

We really appreciate every single person that comes in and makes our world go 'round. A sincere, heart felt THANK YOU to all our friends, colleagues and customers for your patronage and support for the past 3 years.

This Holiday Season we are doing something new and different:

It all started on International Human Rights Day - December 10th.
A couple members of our wonderful staff decided to start a movement to give back with the help of our community. They convinced the rest of the gang to donate all the tips made on this day to donate to individual loans distributed through Kiva.org.

This video explains:

Well thanks to YOU, they raised $145!
Mount Currie Coffee Co. then matched the funds collected to make the grand total $290. Enough to start 12 micro loans!


This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Follow our first loans here:

Because we want to recognize the value added to "the bean" at every level of production, the loans that we make will be tailored to our friends in the coffee business, whether it's farming, trading, or serving coffee(...or sometimes just living in a coffee producing region). We're all in this game together!

Hooray!

Once again folks, Thank you for making this happen and Happy Holidays from your friends at Mount Currie Coffee Co.
