Seeing the tremendous hardships that the local coffee farmers were facing led them to make a commitment to help. After they returned to the US, they pooled their resources and kickstarted a small roasting operation in Austin, Texas, using a direct trade model that bypassed middlemen in order to give back more to the folks at origin.
Launching into their sixth year, the team has grown along with their name in the specialty coffee industry, selling their friend's specialty coffee as both Cold Brew and whole bean coffee products. What had started with hand shake and a promise to friends in Nicaragua had grown to purchasing full containers and making a real difference in the lives and communities of small-scale coffee producers.
