Our passion for the craft, quality and freshness of our coffee compels us to roast and deliver our Specialty-Grade coffee the same day it's ordered. Our company was created for a purpose – to positively impact the lives of post-prison men and women, their families, and the communities in which we live.

Passion + purpose. It's a beautiful thing.

"This coffee is the bomb!" - D. Bray, Naperville IL.

Rwanda Tranda Kopacama Co-op Washed
It's been a while since we were able to source a great Rwandan coffee, but this one fits the bill. Sweet lemon and black cherry with plum and brown sugar? What's not to love?!
The flavors are mouthwatering and delicous, and we're really enjoying it.
