Vail Mountain Coffee & Tea Company

Sustainability

VMCT has forged relationships across many continents with both coffee and tea producers. The owners have actively engaged in projects to improve the lives of the communities that work hard to produce their fantastic coffee and tea. Sustainable farming practices are rooted in the theory of re-creating nature in the field, with minimal intervention, finding a balance between production and the earth's health. From shade-grown coffee to working with producers with modern water reclamation facilities, VMCT actively supports farmers who consciously care and invest in their lands and communities. 

Micro-Estates / VMCT Select

VMCT actively supports and develops direct relationships with the independent farmer who elects not to be involved with cooperative coffee efforts but chooses to grow either organic or sustainably farmed, single-origin coffees or what is termed micro-estate coffees. VMCT’s micro-estate plantations are farmed organically or sustainably and will continue to be the source for some of the world’s most extraordinary coffees and teas for generations to come.

Organic & Bio-Dynamic

VMCT continually sources certified organic and bio-dynamic coffees and teas by fostering direct-to-grower relationships. As certification qualifications vary from country to country, VMCT is diligent in its research and ensures that its producers meet organic and bio-dynamic farming standards.
