2018 marked a statement of intent for us, to ensure that people growing exceptional coffee are still doing so in decades to come.
We started publishing the price we pay to producers exposing the traceability they deserve and discerning drinkers' demand as the new norm. We refer to the most direct payment as ‘Farmgate’.
We’re proud we can publish this for our single origins and house blends.
Seven Seeds has been involved with the Speciality Coffee Transaction Guide as data donors for the past five years. We have signed 'The Pledge', a commitment to transparency in coffee trading.
We also share this information in our Annual Impact Report.
We roast Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Place your order by 7:00 am AEST on a roasting day to have your coffee shipped the next day (Monday-Thursday). Orders placed between Friday 7:00 am through Monday 7:00 am will be roasted Monday and sent Tuesday.

The Sierra Mazateca is located in Oaxaca and gets its name from the presence of the indigenous group, the Mazatec. The land is found between La Cañada and the Papaloapán Valley at the state’s northern tip.
Coffee-producing states in southern Mexico face a challenging economic reality. Oaxaca and Chiapas are the two poorest states in Mexico, with poverty rates of 60-80% and extreme poverty rates of 20-40%. Coffee production yields have become dangerously low in these regions. Over the last ten years, coffee leaf rust disease and the lack of financial or agricultural means to tackle it have reduced production by up to 90% in some regions.
The average yield in Oaxaca is now just 100kg of parchment per hectare. For context, the average yield in Colombia is 2,400kg per hectare. The vast majority of Mexico’s 500,000 coffee producers are smallholder farmers with one hectare or less land under coffee, making the average annual production very low and sadly making coffee farming increasingly unsustainable. This is fuelling widespread migration to Mexico’s urban centres and the United States. In short, coffee production is disappearing.
That being said, we are finding some stunning quality coffee from small pockets of Mexico, and Clemente Hernandez is a shining example. We’re getting tropical fruit notes with crisp citric acidity and rich, sugary sweetness.
