Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-24. 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's website mentions a founding history, the specific year of 2011 is widely cited in industry directories, though the brand's own site occasionally references a legacy date of 1921 which appears to be a historical placeholder or unrelated entity reference.
