We let Mother Earth do what she does best. As there is Terroir qualities for the finest of wines, Coffee too exhibits the qualities of its locality. Great regions, with soil rich in nutrients and at the right elevation is what produces outstanding coffee, and that's what we look for. This is the foundation to a good end product.

In our culture, the feather signifies trust, friendship and respect. We like to work closely with coffee partners who exemplify these values as we do. Fostering these relationships are the key to a sustained, common growth. These alliances are what make up our popular single origin coffees and our own blends

While moving coffee around the world in a canoe would be impractical, we use the canoe as a metaphor to represent our philosophy on transport. We always opt for transport methods and routes that minimize our environmental impact.

We keep a small, temperature and humidity controlled environment for the green coffee beans we receive. This ensures the coffee's freshness up to roasting it. We periodically do visual and moisture checks to make sure the storage conditions of our pre-transformed beans remain optimal.

What most call roasting for the sake of simply communicating, we call transforming. We feel that the transformation of coffee beans is part art, and part science: Incorporating cutting edge technology, paired with Walter's 16 years of award-winning expertise. It's this combination that defines the quality of the transformation the end product will see.
