About
Torque Coffee places proportional pricing at the core of its identity – a model that ensures farmers are paid 20% of the retail price of the coffees they grow, far above the commodity price of coffee. Farmers are featured prominently on Torque’s website, further reflecting the roaster’s committment to investing in origin communities and relationships. Torque’s single origins trend toward bright, sweet, and fruity taste profiles, from Africa, Central America, and other regions. Their packaging and mailer are 100% recyclable.
