Marley Coffee is a company involved in the business of sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee. It provides seven varieties of premium coffees to the grocery, retail, online, service, hospitality, and office coffee service industries.
The company today announced a partnership distribution agreement in Japan. Markey Coffee reported that IMT Imedia Cafe, an alliance between a Japanese enterprise and Columbian coffee farmers, processors, and exporters who specialize in gourmet and specialty coffees, has become its new distribution partner in Japan. Imedia Cafe has been in the coffee business since 2007 promoting and selling organic certified, specialty grade green coffee beans from Latin America in Japan, which is the fourth biggest coffee market in the world.
The partnership is expected to significantly expand the availability and retail presence of Marley Coffee in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan. Imedia Cafe, which is already selling Marley Coffee, now plans to aggressively increase distribution of the company’s coffee to retailers throughout Japan. In addition, it will feature Marley Coffee at industry trade shows and ecology-minded consumer events and reggae festivals. The Marley name is already an iconic name in Japanese popular culture.
Both companies agree that the alliance makes sense. Emiko Ichinose of IMT Imedia Cafe said, “Our business is built upon a simple concept that aligns with Marley Coffee – ‘fair to the people, pure to the earth’.”
