Authentically good coffee, from crop to cup.
Authentically good coffee comes from a series of choices that begins with the farmers
and the land, and reaches all the way to your favorite mug.
These are our choices.
Organic, Premium Coffee
- We choose 100%, USDA-certified, organic beans. From crop to cup, our propagation, transportation, storage and processing is organically certified.
- We choose to obsess about roasting with care, precision and a solid dose of artistry. Extracting ultimate flavor and complexity is one way we show respect for the farmer, the plant and you.
- We choose to invest in premium beans and an ethical, healthy production process. Our coffee costs a little more because we refuse to short change our farmers or our quality.
Fair & Ethical
- We choose Fair Trade. Through our 23-member co-op, Coop Coffees, we build relationships and negotiate directly with our farmers. This allows our producers to secure the best price, without middle men or manufactured market pressure.
- We choose to give a percentage of our profits back to our farmers so they can re-invest in their own businesses and communities.
- We choose to pay living wages and ensure a healthy work/life balance for our team.
Relationships Matter
- We choose to support our community. We choose integrity, transparency and care.
- We choose to foster relationships and exceptional customer service. Our partnerships are more than transactional. We're invested in your success and well-being.
- We choose to have a good time and to be easy to work with. We take coffee seriously, not ourselves.
