We’d like to give our sincere thanks to our Crown Jewel customers. With your support, we’re able to continue to explore the boundaries of specialty coffee and highlight innovative producers around the globe. Here’s a look back at the year in Crown Jewels:
We released 48 Crown Jewels from 17 countries totaling almost 70,000 lbs of green coffee.
We strive to emphasize ethical and sustainable sourcing practices, and focused our efforts on some specific data, such as women-led projects, certified organic coffees, and farms with good traceability.
Here’s a short survey if you’re interested in sharing your thoughts with us. We hope to make 2023 an even better year, together.
