Why we chose to work with Saint Frank Coffee: We know there are a ton of coffee options, and many that roast closer to where we are, but when we sat down with Kevin Bohlin, the founder of Saint Frank, and talked about the vision and mission for our shop and also about what Saint Frank was doing, we established a true connection. We love that they are relational in their sourcing, recognizing the social and cultural distance between coffee producers and consumers, are committed to sustainability, responsibility, and empowerment, and, let's not forget, roast some amazing coffee.  Please check out Saint Frank’s Transparency Report, which gives information on pricing, cup score, and how much of a producer’s lot they purchased.

Now that we’ve begun to roast our own coffee, we are working with Bonaventure Coffee, the importer that was established by Kevin and Benjamin Paz in 2020 as a way to connect Honduran producers with new roasters after losing their contracts due to the pandemic. Our green coffee-buying goal is to purchase coffee from producers over a long-term, hoping to establish a relationship and provide more stability, allowing them to invest more in their farms, their produce, and their own families and towns.

If we are trying to empower and restore people through our job training program, it only makes sense that our products also work to empower the people behind them. Whether you enjoy your coffee black and in its purest form or in one of our signature drinks, know that it was responsibly sourced.
