Primary Beans

Regular beans

Single origin

Uniqueness of each harvest is preserved.
Harvest info on every box.

Origin story is lost. Beans from different sources are combined and pass through many hands.

Freshness

Packed at peak flavor and freshness.
So fresh you can skip the soak.

Often 2 years old when they reach grocery store shelves. Soaking may be needed to revive them.

Impact

Sourced from climate-conscious farms that
go the extra mile to make an impact.

No transparency around source or farming practices.

Diversity

13+ regional varieties that keep
 long-standing traditions alive.

Same familiar varieties that
you can count on a single hand.
