We believe that keeping as many steps of the value chain as possible in the producing countries will help them to become more independent.That's why we're working with coffee producers to build a platform that enables trading of finished products instead of raw materials.
We source specialty coffees, which are among the best coffees in the world. All of our partners are well-trained coffee experts. Our coffees are carefully drum roasted to our specifications.

We believe this model is more efficient than the label industry and allows us and producers to shape the future together.
