More often than not, coffee is grown in developing nations and areas where large conglomerates operate with questionable ethics. As roasters, we are diligent about our coffee's quality, traceability, and the ethical compliance of our sources.

All of our coffees are certified Specialty Grade, representing the top 4% of the global coffee market in terms of quality, taste, ethical production, and innovation. We offer our producers a fair-market premium, paying 2-3 times more than the typical commodity price for coffee to ensure living wages. This not only provides sufficient pay to workers throughout the supply chain, but the additional funds also lead to higher-quality coffee through better technology, agricultural practices, and quality control standards.

Beyond the increased security and opportunity these additional funds provide for coffee farmers, our partnered Canadian importers personally vet these operations to ensure healthy working conditions and assess the quality of their harvests.
