Palo Alto

Palo Alto Reserve criteria are focused on quality, reliable supply, and relationships. These regional coffees guarantee a minimum cupping score of 83 points, provide a constant supply and delivery from year to year, and build long-lasting ties between growers and roasters.
 
We have implemented the Palo Alto reserve programme internally to ensure that all origins adhere to a strict code of quality and ethics. We exclusively seek out coffee that consistently achieves a score of 83 or higher on the SCA scale. Furthermore, we greatly value suppliers who consistently and reliably meet our supply needs. In addition, our focuslies on investing in social programmes (the Palo Alto programme).
 
Ethiopian Coffee Farmer - Opal Coffee
One example exemplifies our unwavering dedication to the coffee industry with the Palo Alto programme, where the tireless efforts of the women involved profoundly shaped the success of our product.
 
They have a vital role in maintaining the coffee’s quality by performing tasks like sorting and drying the red coffee cherries, as well as roasting and grinding the coffee beans. Opal Coffee is committed to sustainable development in our sourcing practices. 

Our commitment extends to ensuring a responsible and transparent supply chain, while also striving to enhance the well-being of local communities.
