Our motto is "Not Just A Cup, But A Just Cup!" We say this because we don't deal with agri-business - only small family farm coops, and the difference we make is impactful.
“A coffee farmer will love their trees when they provide food, shelter, education, and health care for their family. When a farmer loves their trees, they will care for them in a way that produces fine quality and flavor. Gre
at coffee derives from the welfare of the farmer and their family. It is true for all farmers who work the land, including our local farmers.”
– Paul Katzeff, Co-Founder
