Founded in 2014 by three Thunderbird MBA graduates, Swillings Coffee is a Phoenix-based company that operates with a focus on social impact and direct trade. The company is documented for its origin-roasted model, where coffee is roasted in Colombia by local partners rather than being shipped to the United States as green beans. This process is intended to eliminate multiple middle-men and reduce the time from harvest to cup to approximately two weeks. By roasting at the source, the brand aims to provide higher wages to farmers and roasters while keeping more of the product's added value within the growing community.

Ownership
Swillings Coffee is an independent, family-founded company established by a team including Jon Paul, who was inspired by his time living on a coffee farm in Costa Rica.
Roasting
Named roasting partner: Frank Villada (in Colombia). Other roasting arrangements are unverified.
What it's known for

Farm-level sourcing

Website

I was able to verify that Swillings Coffee operates an online store for direct-to-consumer sales, but I could not find evidence of any specific physical retail locations or third-party online marketplaces currently stocking their products.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Nov 15, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.
