Brew Crew

Brew Crew, a standout social enterprise roaster, was founded by a group of former university students who were driven by a desire to use business as a force for good. Their experience with Enactus, a student-led social enterprise initiative, led them to see firsthand how fair trade practices and sustainable sourcing could spark genuine, positive change. By establishing Brew Crew, they sought to address an age-old issue in the coffee industry: exploitative trade practices that leave small-scale producers vulnerable and undercompensated.

From day one, Brew Crew’s mission has been anchored in ethical sourcing. They work closely with reputable coffee importers - such as Covoya, Falcon, Sucafina, Primavera, and Omwani - who share their commitment to transparent supply chains and fair compensation for farmers. These partnerships ensure that producers receive above Fairtrade prices, providing much-needed financial stability and encouraging sustainable farming practices. 

Sustainability serves as the heartbeat of Brew Crew’s operations. Recognizing that a large portion of coffee’s carbon footprint originates on the farm and during transportation, they collaborate with their importing partners and local NGOs to support environmental projects at origin. By co-funding initiatives like the reforestation project with Copaíba in Brazil, Brew Crew invests not just in the quality of beans, but also in the long-term well-being of the planet and the communities who depend on coffee production. This focus continues after the beans arrive at Brew Crew’s roasting facility, where eco-friendly measures - like compostable and recyclable packaging - minimize further environmental impact.

In addition to responsible sourcing, Brew Crew has developed an innovative approach to giving back: 10% of retail sales go toward social and environmental projects in coffee-growing regions. This reinvestment model ensures that value added at the end of the supply chain ultimately circles back to the producers and their communities. By partnering with award-winning NGOs and reputable importers, Brew Crew guarantees that these contributions align with meaningful causes and pave the way for a more sustainable coffee industry.

For coffee drinkers seeking an easy way to make a difference, Brew Crew offers more than just a delicious cup. Their transparency allows consumers to trace the journey of each bean - from farm to cup - while witnessing how every purchase funds projects that protect the environment, empower small-scale farmers, and uplift local communities. Brew Crew stands out as a roaster that seamlessly weaves ethical business practices, sustainable initiatives, and community development into one remarkable coffee experience.
