Reprise Coffee Roasters
As time passed, Reprise Roasters became increasingly aware of the rich flavor potential of coffee, as well as the unfortunate reality that many of the individuals responsible for its production are trapped in a cycle of poverty, particularly in Nicaragua.
Did you know that it takes 2,000 hours of labor to produce just one cup of coffee? And yet, the majority of coffee producers cannot even afford to consume it themselves. Reprise Roasters finds this unacceptable and has taken action to address the issue.
Through its partnership with Gold Mountain Coffee Growers, it is able to offer ethically-sourced specialty coffee, which is both high in quality and produced in a sustainable manner. Reprise Roasters firmly believes that by supporting its coffee farm partner it can help to improve the lives of coffee growers, as well as enhance the overall quality of its coffee.

Starbucks
The year was 1971, and our tale starts amidst the cobbled pathways of Seattle’s esteemed Pike Place Market.
It was at this very location that Starbucks launched its inaugural outlet, presenting an assortment of freshly roasted coffee beans, teas, and exotic spices from diverse regions across the globe, catering to the discerning taste buds of our patrons.
Our nomenclature drew inspiration from the legendary saga of “Moby-Dick,” symbolizing the maritime customs and conventions of the initial coffee merchants.
