Our beans deliver big flavor with ease
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.
