Specialty coffee trades volume for quality. Hand-picked beans, careful processing, and a riskier harvest for the farmer all cost more, on purpose.

It improves soil, sequesters carbon, and produces a richer bean, but it also means the farmer gives up productive land to a forest that pays them nothing back.

Not all cardboard is recyclable. Not all plastic is either. One contaminated bag can send an entire load to landfill. The average bag of coffee leaves behind 25g of plastic waste, that's 55 lbs of permanent trash for every 1,000 bags sold. We commit to zero plastic and zero deceitful recyclability claims.
