Fair Trade Coffee

[Cap Haitian, Haiti] Finding a way to support existing Haitian enterprise was top of mind when we first visited the country. We believed that buying Haitian coffee was one of the best ways that we could have an immediate impact. We decided to launch our own brand of Haitian coffee and to incorporate this coffee into existing Alltech products.

After several trips to Haiti, we found the perfect partner: RECOCARNO is a 6,700-member coffee co-op headquartered in Cap Haitian, a small port city on the northern coast of Haiti. It includes Haiti's oldest coffee co-op and is fair-trade certified by FLO-CERT, an independent international certification company.

The coffee's name was derived from the Citadelle Laferriére, the largest fortress in the Americas, around which many of RECOCARNO's member farms are located. Alltech Café Citadelle is a high-quality, shade-grown Arabica. It is hand-picked, naturally organic, and is Fair-Trade Certified^™.
