Hand-picked coffee

For a consumer the most important thing is of course the coffee.  Rijo say that what sets them apart is the quality of their coffee.

Five different blends are offered: the 100% Arabica Red Blend, the Arabica and Robusta Black blend, award-winning single origin Tunki from the Peruvian Andes, single origin decaf from Mexico and Triple Certified, a coffee with sustainability at its heart, certified by The Soil Association, Fairtrade and the Rainforest Alliance.
