Our Story

We wanted to create something different and unique in the coffee industry. We started with the coffee communities in mind, recognizing their hard work and dedication to producing high-quality coffee. From there, we set out to create a sustainable and responsible business model that supports farmers and their communities while also providing fair prices for everyone involved in the supply chain.

Our founder

Hey there! I’m Alvaro, the founder of Alpaca Coffee Roasters. My coffee journey started as a barista at Starbucks many years ago. Later, I managed the Coffee Museum in Cusco, Peru, where I got to dive deeper into the coffee world, met farmers, and explored their farms. After making my way to Europe, I wanted to share my love for coffee, its stories, and its incredible flavors. But I always found it very difficult to find the right coffee for me. And so, Alpaca Coffee Roasters was born. 

We’re slowly but surely growing, with big plans on the horizon. Your support means the world, and every bag of coffee is made with a lot of care and passion.

Thanks for being part of our coffee-loving community!

What we want to achieve

Our mission is to provide coffee lovers with a truly unique and satisfying experience, by roasting fresh and flavorful coffee on demand, and by prioritizing the well-being of farmers and communities in our supply chain. We are committed to building meaningful relationships with our customers, our partners, and the communities we serve, and to sharing the joy and richness of coffee with the world.

Empowering Coffee Farmers

We’re committed to working with coffee farmers and ensuring that they receive fair prices for their hard work. We believe that by doing this, we can create a more inclusive and equitable coffee industry that benefits everyone involved.

Our partners

 

Although we strive to do our part, we also work with dedicated partners who specialize in supporting coffee farmers and communities around the world. Together, we aim to ensure that these hardworking individuals receive the resources and assistance they need to thrive

What are our sustainabiliy practices?

We’re passionate about serving up amazing coffee and making a positive impact on the planet. We’ve teamed up with three fantastic organizations that share our love for sustainability and ethical practices.

Here’s how we’re making a difference together:

  1. We get our beans from a provider who works directly with coffee communities and farmers, ensuring they earn a fair income and helping local economies thrive.
  2. Our small air roasters are energy-efficient, so we can roast delicious coffee while keeping our carbon footprint low.
  3. For every package we sell, we donate €1 to various causes and communities. Our Kenya line supports Project Waterfall, and funds from our Peru and Colombia lines go to World Coffee Research.
  4. Our packaging is eco-friendly, and we’re working on introducing compostable options soon. Plus, we use stamps to keep our environmental impact in check.
  5. We’re all about recycling, so we use recycled boxes to cut down on waste.
  6. We only work with providers who care about sustainability just as much as we do, ensuring we can grow our business while protecting our planet.

Our love and passion for coffee are what brought my husband and me together, and it’s the reason we started Herrera Roasters. We strive to make every cup of coffee an extraordinary experience for our customers.
