Dark Chocolate * Raisin * Floral At the edge of the Ituri forest and a day’s walk from Virunga National Park’s snowcapped Rwenzori mountains, the 900 farmers of Kawa Kanzururu are collaborating in an economic model for peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Virunga, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is threatened by poaching, deforestation, and armed conflict. Choosing this limited coffee directly supports the Virunga Alliance, providing essential jobs, protecting biodiversity, and guarding critically endangered mountain gorillas.

BROWN SUGAR * HONEY * PLUM JAM Throughout history, music and coffee have fueled and inspired our dreams, our passions, and our hopes for a brighter future. We are excited to partner with one of the Midwest's most prolific and passionate songwriters, accomplished folk artist May Erlewine, in developing the Shine On blend, an uplifting cup of resilience for the important work ahead. $1 of every purchase will be donated to the Michigan non-profit Title Track in support of racial justice education.

Graham Cracker * Hazelnut * Juicy A smooth winter blend to carry you through the chilliest season. We donate $5 from the sale of each 12-oz bag to Traverse City homeless advocacy organization Safe Harbor, providing food, shelter, and hope for those in need. Safe Harbor is a non-profit providing emergency shelter to those in the Grand Traverse County area experiencing homelessness. Every night of the week, the permanent shelter facility offers admission without question, overnight accommodation, and access to a hot dinner, shower and laundry facilities to all who show up and express need.

Part of our collaboration with the very talented May Erlewine. A wonderfully high quality mug for fans of great music and great coffee!
