Staying True to Tradition: Connecting with Coffee Producers from Around the World

At Takumi Collective, we believe that great coffee starts with authentic relationships, a commitment to tradition, and a deep respect for the people and places that produce it. As we continue to grow, we remain grounded in our roots and core values—values that have been shaped by the incredible partnerships we’ve built across the globe.

This weekend at the Amsterdam Coffee Festival, we had the unique opportunity to reconnect with producers and friends from some of the world’s most renowned coffee-growing regions: Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Brazil. 🌍☕️

Why Tradition Matters

In a world of fast-paced changes and emerging trends, it’s easy to forget the foundation that made everything possible. For us, staying true to tradition means honoring the roots of our craft—the people, the land, and the methods that have been passed down through generations.

By preserving the art of small-batch roasting and paying tribute to the timeless techniques that have shaped coffee culture, we ensure that every cup of coffee we serve has a story—a story that celebrates the love and dedication of farmers around the world.

Global Connections: From Nicaragua to Brazil

The Amsterdam Coffee Festival provided the perfect platform to engage directly with coffee producers from across Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Brazil. Each of these regions holds a special place in our heart and our process. Here’s why these connections matter to us:

• Nicaragua: Known for its rich volcanic soil and ideal climate, Nicaragua produces some of the world’s most sought-after beans. By building close relationships with Nicaraguan producers, we’re able to select only the finest crops, ensuring that our customers receive nothing short of excellence. 🇳🇮
• Costa Rica: Costa Rica’s commitment to quality is unparalleled. With a focus on sustainable farming practices, our partnerships with Costa Rican farmers allow us to bring beans that embody both the spirit of the country and the passion for craftsmanship. 🇨🇷
• Colombia: Colombia is a cornerstone of coffee culture. The country’s dedication to producing high-quality beans is reflected in its rich history. Through direct relationships with Colombian producers, we continue to work towards fostering sustainable practices that honor their deep coffee legacy. 🇨🇴
• Brazil: As one of the world’s largest coffee producers, Brazil offers a unique variety of beans. By connecting with Brazilian producers, we gain access to beans that blend tradition with innovation, offering our customers distinctive flavor profiles. 🇧🇷

A Future of Collaboration and Sustainability

At Takumi Collective, we are more than just a coffee brand—we are a community. This is why we make it a priority to travel, engage with farmers, and establish long-term partnerships. It’s these relationships that allow us to bring the best quality coffee to your cup while supporting sustainable farming practices around the world.

We’re proud to work with farmers who share our vision for a better, more sustainable future. By building bridges across continents, we’re ensuring that tradition and innovation work hand-in-hand for a more sustainable coffee industry. 🌱

Looking Ahead

This is just the beginning. We’re committed to continuing these vital conversations, learning from the people who grow the beans we cherish, and sharing their stories with you. Our aim is to make every cup more meaningful—because it’s not just about great coffee. It’s about the people behind it, the values we share, and the commitment to sustainability we hold dear.
