We are a family of dreamers that actively endeavour to express our values and passions through our business; the gift of creating our own work reality. We strive for a healthy cup through sustainable practices and forest management principles. Living our values out loud in every cup!
Harvested from the Cloud Forest of Oaxaca Mexico; For over 20 years we have been immersed in sustainably harvested Oaxacan coffee. Learning coffee from a deeply rooted place of activism and the plight of farmers and a desire to create and build a business that reflects our values and commitment to a true quality supply chain that prioritizes the health of our coffees ecosystem and it’s greater source community.
It hasn’t been without its scars, mistakes and learning our mettle. But our commitment to Living our Values out loud through our coffee business journey remains unscathed and boy do we know the coffee business from the inside out and all the ways in between. From experiencing the perils of coffee farming to exporting/importing, coffee grading and the art of small batch craft roasting.
Quality isn’t brand speak. It isn’t the promise of planting trees, or cents per bag to opaque nature funds. It’s not ‘local’ ( the things that matter in coffee aren’t local ) and it’s not well designed packaging with smart word play or other distractive branding ploys.
Quality is an entire supply chain that encompasses and truly prioritizes the well being of the farmers, the growing environment, the supply chain and the true craft of roasting. It’s a focus on standards, responsibility beyond the bottom line and an embracing of a values driven model that prioritizes transparency and whole quality over smoke and mirrors.
We pride ourselves on being Organic Certified from source to roast. Far beyond just a guarantee of a chemical free growing environment. Coffee like all grown foods reflect their greater growing environment. Organic Certified coffee comes from intact ecosystems shaded by natural forests.
The certification guarantees clean and healthy processing systems, avoiding mold and mycotoxins. Farmers receive better returns for their efforts, and buyers prioritize quality and responsibility. Organic Certification is the gold standard for food processing, emphasizing clean and healthful supply chains. The reporting and audit process is a daily commitment to quality systems and reporting to meet your rigid annual audit requirements. Lastly; coffee reflects the health and biodiversity of its growing environment. Organic certified coffee’s are generally healthier and richer in flavour !
