I worked for almost 15 years as a coffee and tea buyer with Simon Levelt B.V., a Dutch coffee importer and roaster and tea trader. I have broad knowledge of the coffee and tea market, as well as the Fair Trade and organic markets. I support development projects and promote trade with developing countries.
