Elan Organic Coffees is a San Diego based coffee developer and importer who offers a line of certified organically shade grown coffees which it has developed through partnerships with village co-ops and farms in coffee production countries in Central America, South America, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea. Elan has pioneered the supply of the world’s finest certified organic coffees, while supporting farmers and protecting the environment.
Its founder and President, Karen Cebreros, became familiar with the problems being experienced by coffee farmers due to the use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in coffee production. After a trip to Peru in 1989, Karen decided to help farmers save their land and the health of their families by teaching them how to implement healthy organic agricultural techniques. All of this has helped to produce a better tasting coffee that's better for the consumer and better for our environment.
Elan is the leading developer of certified organic and socially responsible coffees, connecting farmers and consumers from tree to cup. They introduced the first certified organic Peruvian coffee into the United States. They pioneered Bird-Friendly certified coffees (SMBC) and was the first importer licensed with TransFair USA.
