Virtually all of the world's coffee leaves its place of origin as raw material. The roasting process in consumer countries is the largest markup in the value chain. This leads to an unfair distribution of profits.
Most of the money stays where we consume coffee and not where coffee is produced. That is not right.

make contactCurrently, 99% of coffee is shipped as raw material. This means that 90% of the countries of origin are dependent on financial support. We believe that keeping as many steps of the value chain as possible in the source countries such as Ethiopia will help to become more self-sufficient. That's why we're working with coffee producers to build a platform that enables trading in real products instead of raw materials.
We source specialty coffees, which are among the best coffees in the world. All of our partners are well-trained coffee experts. Our coffees are carefully drum roasted to our specifications.
And how! We put a lot of love and energy into product development. We tested hundreds of different types of coffee until we were satisfied. It took us almost 2 years to find our coffees.
Honestly, you don't need us for that. Our job is to help coffee countries become more independent. We would be happy if you choose roasted coffees from the country of origin, even if you do not use our service. However, our service also includes crowd shipping, which enables us to negotiate better shipping conditions. So transport will probably be cheaper with us ;) We also procure the green beans, we handle product development, quality management and import and export. There's an extra portion of love in every bag.
