Sourcing

Twelve farm partners.
Direct relationships only.

Every coffee on our menu comes with a name, a place, and a handshake. We pay 2× to 3× Fair Trade pricing and visit each partner farm once per year — most of them, twice.

This is what we mean when we say direct trade: not a label, but a relationship that's older than the cup in your hand.
