Millstone Coffee: Taking Care of Coffee Farmers and the Environment

Millstone Coffee is known for producing great coffee without the hefty price tag. The company is a division of The J.M. Smucker Company and sells ground coffee and whole bean coffee.

As part of its efforts to support the livelihood and quality of life of coffee growers, the company released a new line of Signature Coffees which provides fair prices to coffee growing communities. The Millstone Signature Collection has three new products which include:

Millstone Mountain Moonlight Fair Trade Certified
This variant is produced by coffee grown in mountains of southern Mexico by organized farmers. The farmers are guaranteed to receive a fair price for their coffee produce. This Millstone coffee has a well-balanced roast combined with bright acidity and smooth body. It gives off a subtle and relaxing smell of jasmines.

Millstone Cup of Excellence Signature Roast
This roast won the Cup of Excellence award, which recognizes the very best coffee varieties grown in Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala and El Salvador. Millstone had the honor of being the first major roaster to sell and market this extraordinary coffee in the U.S. This medium-dark roast variety produces a full-bodied flavor and has a interesting sweet taste marked by pleasant acidity.

Millstone Rainforest Alliance Certified Signature Roast
Grown near Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, this medium-dark roast boasts of a ripe, fruity overtone balanced with hints of natural notes and fresh green apple. This variety is part of the project that will support the conservation of rainforests and supporting the families of coffee growers. It ensures the quality of soil and water and makes sure that farms follow the environmental guidelines when growing their coffee.

All coffee blends from Millstone are made from carefully selected from the top 15 percent of the best Arabica beans. These limited edition roasts can be purchased only through phone order and online sales.
