Our Story

A journey from the world's finest coffee origins to your morning ritual. Discover the passion behind every cup.

Our Mission

Terra & Ember was born from a simple belief: that exceptional coffee should be accessible to everyone, without compromising on ethics or quality. We partner directly with small-scale farmers across Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, and beyond, ensuring fair wages and sustainable practices at every step.

Every bean we source tells a story—of the hands that cultivated it, the soil that nurtured it, and the traditions that shaped its unique character. We're not just selling coffee; we're sharing a connection to the remarkable people and places that make each cup possible.

"From origin to your cup, we believe in transparency, sustainability, and the transformative power of a perfectly crafted brew."

Our Values

🌱

Sustainability

We're committed to environmental stewardship at every level—from supporting regenerative farming practices to using 100% recyclable packaging. Our goal is to leave the planet better than we found it.

🤝

Fair Partnership

We pay our farming partners well above fair trade minimums, investing in their communities through education programs, healthcare initiatives, and infrastructure development.

Uncompromising Quality

Every batch is carefully cupped, scored, and selected by our expert team. We only source specialty-grade beans that score 84 points or higher on the SCA scale.
