Brown labels encapsulate the 1st third of why we run a coffee business: to develop the specialty coffee industry.

If not for those who come before us in the supply chain, we would not be the company we are today. In light of that, we see it critical to help producers in whatever way we can to develop in their craft as well. Our brown labels are where we seek to feature the best coffees we can find from up-and-coming producers, regions, and co-ops. For the most part, due to the more restricted access to particular details about the coffee, we can get our hands on these coffees at a lower price point and in higher quantities. Economically stimulating less developed producers can be the most impactful way to push coffee forward because it provides more opportunities for driven, like-minded producers to perfect their craft. There are many programs throughout the world that are dedicated to this mission, and our goal is to support these systems by providing their coffees and sharing their stories.
