Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-27. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand lists several countries on its website, some of the specific country names appearing in their automated web-store filters (such as Western Sahara or Wallis & Futuna) appear to be artifacts of their e-commerce platform rather than actual sourcing origins.
