„These more idealistic partnerships typically involve a roaster entering into an agreement with representatives of groups of small-holding peasant growers that funnels some of the selling price of the coffee toward various projects that directly support the growers: better schools, medical facilities, and so on.

Recently the relationship concept has been pursued on behalf of small groups of Colombian growers with particular vigor by Alejandro Renjifo of Fairfield Trading, who facilitated two of the Colombian relationship coffees reviewed this month.“
