Dark Roast
Bold, rich, full-bodied.
From the Roots — the full story
We don't "source" this coffee.
We grew it, roasted it, and packed it.
Zero degrees of separation.
Grown by our family
Joconal, Nuevo Oriente, Guatemala — 3,800–4,600 ft. Shade-grown on Finca La Esperanza, land our family has worked since 1950. The same hands that planted these seeds built this company.
Processed with intention
Natural. 8 days sun-dried on the patio with the fruit on. The cherry's sugars absorb into the bean — that's the depth you taste.
Roasted by us
Small-batch roasted at our roastery in Roland, AR. Roasted weekly — see your bag for the exact date. Every batch is tasted and approved before it ships.

Impact
Your cup. Their classroom.
The school on our farm
The classroom used to be our patio.
Where my brother, sisters, and I played soccer as kids — that's where children study today. One of Lan Vwa's schools sits on our family's coffee farm. We didn't donate a building. We gave the place where we grew up.
"Watching children learn where we once played — that's why we built all of this."

What we helped build
Our community, then and now.
A few years ago, the road to our farm wasn't paved. There was no electricity. No internet. These aren't stories from another era — they're recent history. And they changed because people decided they should.
Our neighboring farmers
We didn't stop at our own land.
The families growing coffee alongside us — our neighbors — are part of this too.
Clean water
We helped bring clean water access to the farming families in our community — the same families whose hands are in every bag.
Wages that actually mean something
We pay 2× what the industry calls 'fair' to the farmers we work alongside. Because fair was a floor, not a ceiling.
Education for their children too
Lan Vwa's school on our farm is open to the whole community. Their children sit where we played.
