Fairness is in
our nature.

A look at our history reveals when we started advocating for fair coffee: always. We were even founded on this principle.

We had the completely new ambition to produce fair coffee at a time when Fairtrade was only known by a few people.

Since then, our goal has been, as Fairtrade pioneers, not only to achieve the highest coffee quality but also to involve the producers in the success and offer them new perspectives.

With TransFair Coffee and the later brand Café Intención, Albert Darboven continues the story of his family business over 100 years later – in line with founder J.J. Darboven’s vision, with particular innovation and pioneering spirit.

Since then, we have done a lot: we’ve developed new products, found new distribution channels, and most importantly, strengthened our commitment in the growing regions. We’ve also long been aware of the environmental impact of our production and offer almost all our products in organic quality.

But one thing has remained the same to this day: We want to lead the way in making the world of coffee fairer and more sustainable. We are convinced of this path and want to encourage as many allies as possible to follow suit with their own commitment.
