Come Visit Us

Visit our regenerative farms in Costa Rica, train at our barista school, and walk the land where your specialty coffee grows. We offer immersive farm tours that connect you directly to our farmers, our roasting process, and the culture of Costa Rican specialty regenerative coffee. From seed to cup, discover the story behind every sip.

Explore Farm Experiences

Farmer Prosperity First

We support true farmer prosperity through long-term partnerships, paying 2x or more above market prices. This stability enables regenerative investment, generational expertise, strengthens communities, and delivers consistently exceptional coffee.

Traceability & Transparency

Our regenerative specialty coffee is traced to the exact farm where it is grown, with full visibility from cultivation through roasting and sale. We believe in transparency and invite you to visit the farms to experience the full journey from seed to cup.

100% Regenerative Certified

Regenerative means the soil becomes measurably healthier. This is verified through 75+ annual measurements per farm—soil, carbon, water, and biodiversity—resulting in coffee that is more flavorful, nutrient-dense, and restorative by design.

Seed to Cup Integrity

By managing the entire value chain, we ensure alignment from cultivation to distribution. This integration allows us to personally verify quality standards, regenerative practices, and ethical commitments at every step.

Unmatched Quality

Our specialty coffees score 84+ points, placing them in the top 3% globally. Each lot is evaluated by Q graders and roasted on our solar-powered electric roaster to highlight the unique character of each farm.

Compostable Packaging

Our mission extends beyond the cup. We use compostable packaging designed to break down naturally and enrich the earth—just like the regenerative farms we support.

Education & Immersion

We host workshops to train farming partners in regenerative practices while supporting community initiatives such as Fútbol por Mi País. We invite you to Costa Rica to walk the farms, meet the farmers who grow your coffee, and learn directly from our award-winning baristas.

Redefine the Future of Coffee

In partnership with Common Ground, we demonstrate that specialty coffee can restore ecosystems while building farmer prosperity. Every cup supports a global regenerative movement grounded in verifiable data, traceability, and collaboration across farms.
