El Vergel Decaf

Martha, along with her two coffee-savvy sons, Elias and Shady, jumped headfirst into the world of experimental coffee. Their mission? To cook up some tech magic that not only elevates the coffee game but also brings a sprinkle of better life quality to the families working alongside them at El Vergel State. Together, they’re not just growing coffee; they’re brewing up a community revolution! We’ve been working directly with the guys from Forest Coffee (Martha, Elias and Shady’s company) since 2022.

This EA Sugarcane process decaf is a great, clean cup full of Caramel, Peach Cobbler, Berries, and Cinnamon – a really good coffee!

Our Approach to Transparency

At Euphoria, transparency begins with relationships. We believe that great coffee is rooted in mutual trust, respect, and shared commitment, long before it ever reaches your cup.

Instead of focusing solely on numbers or certifications, we prioritize long-standing partnerships with the farmers who grow our coffee. Some of these relationships have been years in the making, built through consistent communication, shared goals, and genuine care for one another’s success.

We believe the length of these relationships is one of the most meaningful indicators of transparency. A farmer would not choose to work with us year after year if we were cutting corners, negotiating unfairly, or treating their work as anything less than the craft it is. When both sides continue to return, it’s because the partnership is healthy, respectful, and mutually beneficial.

For some of our newer relationships, the foundation is the same: direct access and open communication are non-negotiable. We do not pursue sourcing situations where we can’t talk directly with the people producing the coffee, nor do we enter relationships that don’t have the potential to grow into something long-term. Our goal is always consistency, trust, and shared success, not one-time transactions.

Whenever possible, we visit our producing partners face to face. Sitting down together, walking their farms, and experiencing their work firsthand is invaluable. These moments deepen our connection and help ensure that our sourcing practices reflect our values in real, tangible ways.

When you enjoy our coffee, you’re supporting real people, real families, and real histories, thoughtfully connected across the world. That’s the heart of what we do, and that’s the kind of transparency we’re proud to stand behind.
