About Santo Café
Santo Café started with a moment that stayed.
During a school project, a visit to Mexico showed a side of the coffee world that often remains unseen.
Coffee is part of everyday life for millions of people, yet many of the farmers who grow it struggle to earn enough to live well. Seeing this contrast up close made it clear that something was out of balance.
That experience became the starting point of Santo Café.
The story continues
The brand was created with the idea that coffee should do more than taste good. It should contribute to something meaningful. Something that allows the people behind the beans to build better lives and lasting stories of their own.
Swipe to see our journey
It started small. A first bag, coffee in Mexico. The start of something meaningful.
Made by hand. Cut, tested, adjusted. Seeing how it felt and how it looked in real life.
Packed by hand at the dinner table. One bag at a time. Long nights.
Our first batch, roasted with our roaster 'Het Hoofdkwartier'. Who understands the Mexican profile.
Where we are now
With time came clarity. We now produce our own packaging and collaborate with local partners who care deeply about what they offer.
How we work
Today, Santo Café works with trusted import partners who focus on ethical sourcing and responsible practices. Alongside this, we independently support coffee farms in Mexico through direct contributions and local collaboration.
Not by making loud promises, but by taking thoughtful steps in the right direction.
