Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-11-06. 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 launched its marketplace in 2021, the website contains some legacy blog content dated as early as 2010, which may reflect the founder's earlier interests or site template history rather than the company's operational timeline.
