Our Antigua coffee comes specifically from the Zelaya family: a group of farmers renowned throughout the industry for producing amazing single-origin coffee. Coffee is such an integral part of life, and there are countless places where you can buy it, but we believe that truly great coffee comes from the love, care, and dedication that goes into growing it -- something that the Zelaya family has mastered. The family is deeply in tune with the magic embedded in the Antiguan land, and we’re so honored to offer the coffee that they’ve so lovingly cultivated. Our Guatemala Antigua is an homage to all that Central America has to offer; a testament to the wisdom passed through the Zelaya family for generations.

We love this country for its beautiful, vibrant culture; we love this country for its people. We firmly believe that farmers are the bedrock of any coffee business, which is why we take a farmer-centered approach and put our coffee producers at the heart of everything we do. By maintaining direct relationships with our Burundi farmers and providing them with financing, training, and a sense of community, we can ensure that the Grand Paradé experience is beneficial to both you and our farmers.
]]>Tanzanian AA coffee tastes amazing, but to us, great coffee is about so much more than its flavor; it’s also about the people who bring it to life. Our Tanzanian AA coffee has a story behind it -- a community of farmers who, for generations, have dedicated their lives to producing a quality crop. We see our farmers as family, and that’s why we choose to invest in them by paying them premium prices and funding local projects, like the building of dorms, libraries, water tanks and greenhouses.
