About Us
We're Alice and Nick.
We're a coffee company built on a question we couldn't answer.
A few years ago, a farmer in Vietnam's Central Highlands asked us something simple: "Do you know the hands that picked your coffee?" We didn't. That question sent us on a journey we're still on, through highland farms, ancient forests, and coffee ceremonies older than most countries.
What we do
We go to the places where coffee comes from. We meet the people who grow it. We listen to their stories. Then we bring the coffee home and share what we found.
We're building direct supply routes with the communities we've visited. Until those are ready, we work with roasters who share our standards. Every coffee we sell meets the same commitment to quality and fairness, whether we carried the beans home ourselves or sourced them through people we trust.
And then we met Solomon
While we were in Ethiopia, we kept hearing about a man in the Kaffa region who'd spent 38 years recording the ceremonies, songs, and farming wisdom that the coffee trade had quietly left behind.
Months later, he was our co-founder.
His story is extraordinary. We'll let him tell it.
What we're building
Solomon's 38 years of documentation are becoming the foundation of a living library of coffee's cultural heritage. We're also working toward putting 20% of every subscription towards community projects with our producer partners. That commitment is real but not yet operational. We'd rather build it properly than announce it prematurely.
We'll always be honest about where we are, not just where we're heading.
Where we're going next
Ethiopia, 2026. Solomon is going home, with us, to the place where his work began.
We don't know yet what we'll find. That's the point.
