What's your business, and who are your customers?

We supply gourmet coffee to our subscribers. Our business is founded on sustainable coffee practices, and we love to support small coffee farmers.

Tell us about yourself

Our passion for coffee started with our grandparents as they would grow and sell coffee to local suppliers. It’s not something we would drink as kids, but then after growing up, we started to see how popular our coffee was and then started to sell the coffee online.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Receiving an award from Amazon to be named in the top 25% of all sellers on their platform.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Maintaining consistency in the coffee offered to our clients.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Create great business relationships with your suppliers.
  2. Always take care of your customers, even the ones that are super demanding.
  3. Build a strong brand through honesty and integrity, and customers will always come back to purchase from you.
