Relationships from Seed to Cup We believe in investing in relationships from seed to cup. Whenever possible, we buy coffee directly from farmers to ensure that they receive top dollar for their hard work and quality coffee. We have developed friendships with our farmers and take pride in working with such driven, hardworking people. We prioritize working with women in the coffee industry because of their ability to provide economic and educational opportunities to enrich and advance their communities. Like Angèle Ciza, the Kalico owner in Burundi, says, "If you want to develop Burundi, you develop the women." Our dedication to cultivating relationships through coffee doesn't stop at our sourcing. Our coffees are roasted in small batches at our Roasting Haus, located in Over-the-Rhine. We honor the hard work put into each bean by skillfully roasting each coffee with care and attention to detail to bring out the unique qualities and rich flavor. Our most important relationship is the one we have with our customers. Our highly trained staff provide customers with a coffee experience that is unintimidating, genuine, and uplifting. We want everyone to have a cup of really good coffee, whether you are a fellow expert, a casual coffee drinker, or you're just getting interested.
