Love Mercy, Do Justice, Order Coffee

I ordered ten or twelve bags of your whole bean coffee several months ago and just ran out a couple of weeks ago, which forced me to use whole beans I got from a good brand around here. The sudden shift made the taste comparison obvious, and the coffee I made with your beans was so much better! I ordered from you to support Café Justo, but now I’m also ordering because I want to best coffee I can get! “Good” in every sense! —from a happy customer in Austin, Texas

FRONTERA DE CRISTO AND CAFÉ JUSTO CREATED the "Love Mercy, Do Justice" (Amar Misericordia, Hacer Justicia) initiative to provide coffee for migrant shelters across the southern border. Thousands of women and men each week are greeted with a cup of coffee, a meal, and vital medical attention when they are repatriated into Mexico. You can help support this effort with a donation to Love Mercy, Do Justice.

In the mean time, why not order some coffee for yourself today? You will enjoy delicious 100% organic coffee cultivated, roasted, and shipped by the Café Justo cooperative. To order by mail instead of online, just download this form.
