"Rish-ess". Richness.
If you like to start your day with distinct, great-tasting Brazilian coffee and agree with the concept of “buying locally and acting 
globally,” then purchase Café Richesse coffee at the Farmer’s Market. Café Richesse is locally-owned, and family-operated by the Neves family (since 1993)—Paulo, Luiz, and Margaret.
Café Richesse is able to guarantee exceptional quality control of the coffee beans, “from the ground to grind,” because of a direct connection to the coffee farm in Bahia, Brazil. Luis Neve’s uncle oversees the coffee farm management, harvesting, and shipping to the U.S. Their passion for coffee extends to the environmentally and socially responsible aspects of it, too. For every bag of coffee you buy, one dollar supports a school located on the Brazilian farm that educates the families of the harvesters. Without such a school, the hard working harvester families typically have few opportunities to break out of a pattern of illiteracy and poverty and build a better future.
Not only is the coffee socially conscious, but it is delicious! Choice City blend is the Farmers' Market best seller. The Richesse Espresso has been voted best in Fort Collins for six years running. Looking to try something different? Luiz suggests that you give Kim’s blend (named for the owner of Espresso Di Cincotta) a try.
At the Farmers' Market you can find the Café Richesse booth on the far west side (near Howes Street). Stop by if you want to learn more about the coffee operation or school (check out their websites: http://www.caferichesse.com/ and http://www.sociallyconsciouscoffee.org/), try some brewed samples, and, of course, purchase your coffee beans – ground or whole. What a great way to wake up and begin your rounds at the Farmers' Market AND feel good about your purchase!
