Join our Origin Trips in 2024!
Visiting origin countries is a great way to gain real insights into coffee production, source your ideal coffees, and assess our industry's impact on its most crucial stakeholders: coffee farmers. This is the reason behind our frequent travel to Honduras and why we maintain a full-time local team to uphold ethical sourcing practices, ensure consistent quality, and foster long-lasting relationships.
The idea behind our origin trips is to make the connection between roasters and producers as simple as possible. This is your opportunity to use our network to build long-lasting, personal experiences with producers, source incredible Honduran coffees, and contribute to a more unified coffee industry.
