Café Bom Dia

Café Bom Dia'[1] is a family-owned, integrated coffee producer rooted in four generations of growers. Today, the Marques de Paiva family sources beans from growers, and delivers coffee to customers throughout the world.

From tree to customer

In addition to cultivating coffee on Rainforest Alliance certified family farms, Café Bom Dia sources beans from its network of Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, and Organic Certified farmers, as well as conventional farmer partners.

Growers
Growers include more than 4,800 Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance and Organic Certified and conventional farmer partners in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia and Sumatra.

Roasters
Nearly 80 percent of our coffee is roasted at a 'CarbonNeutral' facility in Minas Gerais, the heart of Brazil's coffee country. Partner roasting facilities are located in Colombia and Seattle, Washington.

Sustainable Certifications
Through internationally recognized certifications, third-party organizations guarantee that Café Bom Dia and its network of coffee growers abide by the strictest standards for environmental and social practices.

Using renewable sources of energy

In 2007, Café Bom Dia converted its roasting furnaces to run on environmentally friendly, renewable resources instead of fossil fuels. Cafe Bom Dia was able to achieve this by implementing a program to obtain sustainably forested eucalyptus wood and by using coffee tree trimmings as sources of fuel for its furnaces.
