It's been a long while since we've had the pleasure of featuring Cupboard Coffee here on The Coffee Life!
If you don't know James from Cupboard Coffee
a. Where have you been?
b. You need to know James from Cupboard Coffee, he is genuinely one of the loveliest people, shockingly I still haven't met him in person (um, James what's that about?!) but we communicate regularly and I would consider him a very close friend of mine.
*because I have been chaotically busy, there is only one recipe in this blog post, however it will be updated with an espresso recipe within the next couple of days*
So Cupboard Coffee... Who are they?
Our mission at Cupboard, is to enable you to form a deeper and more meaningful connection with coffee. Our platform gives partner farmers space to tell their own stories, as well as share updates and photos from their fam. So, you get to see exactly where our coffee come from and meet the incredible people behind it. You can even have direct conversations with each farmer in the comments section. We're incredibly excited to be the first company to enable connection between customers and farmers in this way, and would love for you to join us on this journey!
"Discovering Cafe Mió was no coincidence, it was thanks to Ana's relentless pursuit in getting her family's coffee in-front of anyone and everyone in the industry that values transparency. 2020 saw Cafe Mió bring everything in-house, from growing to processing , exporting/importing and even the final sales. It's a lot of extra work, but Ana and her parents wanted to bring everything under one roof so they could provide absolute transparency of their supply chain, and give themselves a say in the future of their own coffee."
