Behind every coffee we offer is a great deal of intention and investment — not just the work we do to find aligned partners in remote and underserved areas but to hone both the coffees and the relationships as close to perfection as we can get. Through developing mutually beneficial relationships with the farmers, cooperatives, and communities we buy from, we are building a stronger, more resilient supply chain. We are grateful to work with some of the finest coffee producers in the world — coffee producers well off the beaten path, who need a strong link to the consuming marketplace. The most important thing we do is to provide that link. We encourage farmers to produce the best coffee they possibly can and support their endeavors by paying higher premiums for higher quality while ensuring a high base price for all tiers that meet our standard. We tie prices to cupping scores so that they are consistent and transparent with a focus on the base price being sustainable. Possibly our greatest value add is in understanding the intricacies in the middle of the supply chain, ensuring that the work farmers do arrives in your hands with its fullest potential intact, ready for you to do your best work as well. In that spirit, we’ve opened headquarters in Lima, Peru and Oaxaca, Mexico as well as our original HQ in Berkeley, California, allowing us to offer year-round producer support and manage collection, milling, and shipping logistics day-to-day throughout the entire season. With over a decade of experience trading coffee on both ends of the specialty spectrum, we’ve learned that every roasting company can need help with their menus at times. We know that our customers, whether they’re small operations without the monster budget to travel or medium-sized roasters who understand that they can’t source everything on their own, are constantly looking for consistent high quality coffees.
