Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-05. 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 provides extensive information on their sourcing philosophy and specific farm names for many single-origin offerings, I could not verify the exact current list of every farm partner due to the rotating nature of their seasonal inventory.
