ABOUT KAT & KIN
On our quest of enlightenment to reveal the secrets behind the enchanted coffee bean, we discovered the great endeavors of all of the people involved in the process of seed to cup. This new perception allowed us to truly appreciate the complexities of this magical bean and to form a kin with the community of speciality coffee connoisseurs. We could not deliver this coffee to you without our coffee kin, as we are merely one stepping stone on the way to the end result. Our intention is to always lead from the heart, and with the utmost respect for all who have been involved in the process. With immense gratitude to you, from our family to yours.
We take the time and effort to buy high-quality coffee beans; we get good green coffee, producers get good money, and you get to drink the best coffee in town. It’s important to us to know where our coffee comes from and the people involved in the process.
