Sources used in this deep dive
Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-21. 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 mentions working with farms, I could not verify a comprehensive list of all current sourcing countries beyond the specific Guatemala origin highlighted on their website.
