Coffee has a profound impact on everyone it touches. In industrialized societies, it is an essential component of our daily routine. As such, it is a commodity of enormous volume, though not always one of great value to those who grow it.
We do not consider any sort of third-party certification a prerequisite for the coffee we choose to roast. We believe that true sustainability can only be achieved by educating coffee consumers to appreciate very high quality. We will always pay a high price for exceptional coffee and seek to form relationships with the people who produce it. Our mission is to be leader in our region in developing the palate and expectations of coffee drinkers, in order to create a permanent market for the coffee produced by passionate and skilled growers.
