“Look down into your cup, what can you tell me about it? Exactly, just as I guessed. In our food-origin-obsessed society, most of us know little about our coffee. What if I told you it started as a seed, became a flowering plant, produced a fruit with a pit, or bean, inside. Do I have your attention now? I bet now that I made you think, you want your coffee organically grown and minimally handled – and only by the highest quality persons with professional integrity – from seedling until it reaches your cup?”
