Company Summary

We are pioneering a coffee brand that addresses a demand for products with transparent sourcing. Traditionally, transparency in coffee has been difficult with economics that retailers would not be eager to share. We are re-engineering the global coffee supply chain for the benefit of smallholder farmers who produce 80% of the world's specialty coffee. Our efforts offer significant reward in the opportunity to establish an industry leading brand.
