Company Description
People say that Black people don't drink coffee, they were lying. We came here to show the world that premium coffee and Black culture go hand in hand. Coffee has a stigma that surrounds it. The focus is put on fancy origins, roasts, and blends - that pretentiousness lends itself to stereotypes about the people who drink it. But that’s not how we roll. We create special products inspired by Black culture for the culture but everyone is invited to the party.
