Connecting people to every product we source, gives everyone the full story and cost of each cup.
Quality coffee is ethically sourced
and specialty roasted
95% of coffee farmers live below the poverty line.
The family farmers who supply 80% of specialty coffee are trapped in cycles of poverty.
These 28 million farmers work small micro plots the size of a 10 X 10 bedroom, all live on under $1 a day. Using technology to connect a person to every product we source, we can ensure payment and social equity.
Being paid in full and on time allows farmers to improve the quality of their coffee & lives.
Equity and quality verification
Global transformation through connection
Stories are the foundation for change. By connectibng product labels with faces, people can connect through stories.
We work with a globally recognized traceability platform, making a digital journey of the coffee supply chain, providing real time data and content for verification.
Traceability ensures farmer equity and coffee quality by connecting them to the global economic grid.
Sourcing strategy
A whole lot of coffee
Our farmer centered sourcing strategy connects people to each product we source. This ensures verifiable coffee quality and farmer equity at each step of the supply chain.
Our diverse set of products use the whole lot of coffee from every farm we buy from. This reduces waste, increases farm yeilds and builds lasting relationships.
Roasting approach
The best of each bean
Coffee has over 850 aromatic and flavor compounds compared to about 200 in wine. To bring out the best in each bean we take two unquie roasting approaches.
Our single origin roasts highlight the unquie flavors from the region allowing people to experience the best from each origin . While our blends are roasted for taste, giving people consistant flavors.
Quality coffee starts at the source
For 20 years we’ve built relationships and supply chain networks. Our farmer centered sourcing strategy connects people to each product we source. This ensures verifiable coffee quality and farmer equity at each step of the supply chain.
As a native Rwandan with decades of experience in coffee & global business and now with advancements in supply chain technology we are able to put a meaningful dent in systemic poverty.
