Addington Coffee Co-op Christchurch is part of a larger organisation called Liminal, formed around strong values of fair and ethical ways of doing business.  We exist solely for others, as we strive to create a place of belonging for our customers, employees, and our producers in the far reaches of the globe.

In 2008, we started a business to give consumers, producers and their communities a vehicle to make the changes in their lives that they want to see in the world. Our aim was to bring those worlds closer so that we could learn from one another, not only through trade and the exchange of products, but also through sharing life together and living in the same communities.

For some years as a business, we committed to redistributing 70% of our profits back to the local community and to some of the producers and communities overseas that create the products we sell.

This has helped build buildings and fund extra staff at our local school, build teacher's accomodation in Ethiopia, help fund coffee replanting programmes in Central America, and help a fair trade apparel manufacturer in Kolkata to expand. We saw this not a matter of generosity, but as the profits of our business going back to the producers and communities to whom they really belonged.

Come into our Christchurch cafe and experience Co-op coffee.
