How we work together

Scout for potential

We actively seek out new producers or explore opportunities with existing partners to develop innovative products & identify quality potential.

Assessment

Through sampling their coffees, we gain insights into their flavour profiles, business models, & the unique value they bring to our relationship. We conduct thorough visits to their facilities, diving into their supply chain practices & conducting comprehensive cupping sessions to evaluate a broad range of their products.

Establish Partnership

We initially will buy coffee in smaller volumes to further understand the market viability. We conduct annual visits & audits, following up on deliverables, speed, & stability in order to reassess the partnership. We also assess & address social, environmental, & economic aspects of their supply chain to ensure alignment with our values and goals.

Grow Organically

Increase volumes if assessment results meet our standards, and continue to invest year after year.
