Attention at every step, because every step is ours.

There is no factory line and no middleman. From the tree to the bag it is the two of us, each of us checking the other's work. If a lot is not good enough it does not ship, and we say so rather than hide it. That is the whole promise: honest coffee, made by hand, with attention paid to every step of it.

Miguel and Joanna laughing together in bright window light at the roaster.

What did you get in the cup?

There is a small square printed on the back of the bag, and it brings you here. Tell us what you found, in whatever words you have. We read every one of them, and when this lot comes round again your words are part of what we are aiming at.
