At S&D, we are awed by the hard work and effort that it takes to bring a single pound of coffee to our customers. Before the coffee ever reaches our S&D family, over 25 million families work around the world, harvesting fine coffees, so we can bring you the best cup of coffee day in and day out.
S&D’s commitment to these high-quality products starts early in the process - right from the bean. Company executives, like Fred Taylor, S&D’s senior vice president of Commodities, travel to many coffee growing communities around the world. From Central and South America to Asia, our team visits each location, researching farms, talking to farmers, touring mills, and tasting and buying beans. These personal visits allow us to really know the suppliers and ensure the quality of each batch of coffee and tea.
