About us

Slow is the sustainable coffee company providing business solutions with 100% transparency. With our on-the-ground team in Laos, we are working directly with 153 micro-farmers who are all growing coffee in forests – agroforestry. 

This growing method is the most sustainable of all, assuring thriving biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and an opportunity for several incomes streams through fruit trees or honey production in the coffee plantation. We are collaborating on a daily basis with the farmers that grow Slow coffee to preserve and plant more forest. And we take care of them by providing better prices, advance payments, an emergency fond, training, better equipment, etc.. Over the last three years we have seen the impact of this collaboration as higher quality and quantity of coffee.

With Slow as your coffee solution provider, you go beyond being on first name with your own dedicated coffee farmer, you also get an insight into their life, and the development of their coffee forests and well-being through individual livelihood programmes. 

You can also do like our customer COOR and get your own plantation, that we are converting from an unsustainable monoculture to a regenerative agroforestry. Slow customers benefit from our close relationship with the farmers and the storytelling we provide. Customers use our well documented sustainability efforts in their reporting or to tether their sustainability strategies in tangible effort that employees celebrate.
