Airship coffee roasters' story started in 2008 through agricultural work in Central America, which led to importing green coffee from farmers and connecting with roasters nationwide. Curiosity got the best of them, and from there the team fell in love with roasting. Thanks to their experience in sourcing, Airship has been able to build long-standing relationships with folks growing some of the best coffee in the world.  

Airship currently operate two bustling cafes in Bentonville, Arkansas. There's a neighborhood hangout at the 5th Street coffee bar and a one-of-a-kind, open-air cafe in the woods at their Coler Preserve location. Their ultimate goal is to shift more perspectives around what a coffee experience can be, putting more emphasis on people than product, finding purpose in community building, and making a place where authentic community thrives.

Boon Boona coffee are committed to sharing the unique coffee traditions of Africa. Founder and CEO Efrem Fesaha is from an Eritrean family but grew up in Seattle and used his understanding of the two vastly different cultures to make is mark on the coffee industry. After his initial business plan to open an East African coffee shop was rejected by banks, he remained persistent and in 2011 began importing quality green coffee directly from Ethiopia instead. Over the years word spread through the community, then Efrem began receiving requests for roasted beans, so he experimented and the Boon Boona Roastery and Cafe was born. Today the business is an active participant for better transparency across the supply chain, support for future generations in coffee farming and creating an inclusivity for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

Creativity, Kindness and Coffee. Say it out loud. It's a little spell that Brandywine coffee roasters like to cast every morning at their roasting and printing operation hidden in Wilmington, Delaware.

Each hand-printed bag features a custom illustration from local Delaware artist Todd Purse, helping to emphasise that each coffee Brandywine release is a work of art living within another work of art. Go forth, drink coffee, create and BE KIND!
