Coffee with a Conscience: How We Source Sustainably
At our shop, we don’t just brew coffee; we brew a movement. We believe coffee should be not only delicious and premium but also kind to the planet and fair to its growers. In this blog post, we’re excited to share how we source our coffee sustainably while maintaining the rich flavors and unique characteristics that come from exotic locations around the globe.

The Journey of Coffee, From Bean to Brew
Sustainable sourcing starts long before the first cup. It begins in the lush coffee-growing regions, where the right conditions allow coffee beans to flourish. From the breathtaking mountains of Colombia to the sun-drenched hills of Ethiopia, our beans are hand-selected from farms that prioritize environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

Embracing Fair Trade Practices
A core component of sustainability in coffee sourcing is Fair Trade certification. This means that the farmers who grow our beans receive fair wages and work in safe conditions. By choosing cooperatives and producers committed to these principles, we ensure that our coffee contributes positively to their communities. Investments in education, healthcare, and sustainable practices are all part of the commitment we stand by, echoing the Memphis soul that permeates our brand.

Eco-Friendly Growing Practices
Our partners are not just focused on the quality of their coffee; they are equally passionate about how it is grown. Organic farming methods that avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers are prioritized, allowing the rich biodiversity of the local ecosystems to thrive. Shade-grown coffee is another sustainable method that helps preserve the natural habitats for wildlife and maintains healthy soil. We are proud to support farmers who nurture their land responsibly, ensuring that it can continue to provide for generations to come.

Direct Relationships with Farmers
Building direct relationships with our coffee farmers not only ensures the freshest and most premium beans but also fosters long-term partnerships based on trust and mutual growth. We visit the farms and spend time with the growers to appreciate their culture and understand their needs better. These relationships help us keep our supply chain transparent and empower the growers to advocate for themselves and their communities.

A Flavorful Fusion of Cultures
Just like Memphis is known for its rich musical heritage, our coffee reflects a tapestry of flavors inspired by its origin. When you sip our carefully crafted brews, you’re not only enjoying premium coffee; you’re also tasting a piece of the culture and passion that went into every bean. Upon each cup, we blend the exotic flavors of the world with a hint of soul that defines Memphis. It’s this fusion that makes our coffee truly special.
