Benevolent Blend Medium Roast Coffee

"Benevolent: adjective: well meaning and kindly."

We are convinced that we could all use a little more benevolence in our lives.  This blend is a nod to our own capacity to create kindness - in others' lives and in our own.

Some of the most benevolent actors in the specialty coffee world are the men and women who grow and harvest this coffee.  They are benevolent not only in how they tend to their plants and prepare and sort coffee to sell to us, but they are also benevolent in how they treat fellow members of their cooperative.

"We do this to help those who have the least among us. They need us to keep them in mind,”  one leader of a farmer cooperative said as he visited us in Americus.  Supporting fellow community members is always on the mind of cooperative leaders.  They know their work to sell coffee and maintain buyer relationships is an essential piece to a thriving community (not just a business).

We are forever inspired by the benevolence of the cooperatives who supply us with coffee.
