The Supporting Strong Women campaign

In late 2023, we launched ‘Supporting Strong Women,’ a campaign that celebrated and promoted the incredible work of the Rambagirakawa women’s group in Rwanda, and generated support for its members and their communities.

Meet Eugenie and Emerthe

Every June, we travel to Kigali to select our Rwandan line up for the year. While on the ground, we rely on longtime partners RWASHOSCCO (Rwandan Smallholder Specialty Coffee Company), a farmer-owned marketing, exporting and roasting company, to connect us to some of the country’s best-regarded cooperatives.

Our final Colombian shipment of the year is here!

Our final selection of Colombian offerings for the year has just arrived and will be ready for dispatch later this week. The shipment includes the much-loved Small Producers of China Alta, along with a lot we last secured in 2016: Small Producers of El Bombo.

Our Colombian arrivals continue!

We’ve got a very special line up prepared for our final Colombian container of the year — and it’s landing in just a couple of weeks! Made up of coffee from Tolima and Huila, the incoming shipment includes two stellar single estate lots and two distinct and versatile small producer regional blends.
