TRANSPARENCY
Transparency Report: Faustino Flores Benegas, Peru (PDF)
2018 marked a statement of intent for us, to ensure that people growing exceptional coffee are still doing so in decades to come.
We started publishing the price we pay to producers exposing the traceability they deserve and discerning drinkers' demand as the new norm. We refer to the most direct payment as ‘Farmgate’.
We’re proud we can publish this for our single origins and house blends.
Seven Seeds has been involved with the Speciality Coffee Transaction Guide as data donors for the past five years. We have signed 'The Pledge', a commitment to transparency in coffee trading.
We also share this information in our Annual Impact Report.

SOURCING
PRODUCER: Faustino Flores Benegas
RELATIONSHIP: Second year of purchasing
ORIGIN PARTNER: Caravela
Faustino Flores Benegas is an independent second-generation coffee producer. Together with the assistance of his wife Sarah, and son David the family farms Caturra, Red Bourbon and Catimor varieties, along with Guava, Bananas, and around 30 large cedar trees for which the small farm is named. Since 2018 they have been improving the infrastructure on the farm and pushing for better quality coffee. The proof is firmly in the pudding, with their coffee placing in the national round of Peru’s Cup of Excellence competition 2022. The family has a strong desire to keep pushing forward with quality initiatives. Their current goal is to gain a place in the finals of COE. This stunning lot blew us away with its fresh fruit acidity and excellent structure. As the coffee cools, texture and balance come to shine. Such a coffee has been hard to come by in previous years.
