We expect no less from ourselves than we ask of our farmer partners. For that reason we have chosen to organize ourselves as a worker co-op, an alternative business model based on democratic principles. Each worker-owner gets one vote, has access to shared financial information, and invests an equal share in the business.
Have you ever wondered why our decaf coffee is so flavorful? We start with the same high-quality, organic, small farmer grown Arabica beans that we use in all our coffees. We remove caffeine from the fresh beans using a technique called CR3 Natural Liquid Carbon Dioxide Decaffeination. The natural liquid carbon dioxide used is the same CO2 that gives sparkling water its carbonation. This process removes 99.9% of the caffeine, yet leaves the bean and its natural oils intact.
At our solar-powered roastery in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, our worker-owner team batch roasts and conducts production cuppings daily to bring out the best characteristics in each harvest. With four primary roast levels, we think there’s a favorite here for everyone.
