We are excited to present to you all the third More Than Coffee project: Sounders Fútbol Club. This is a project inspired by a man from Minnesota and his first trip out of the country to Guatemala where he learned to celebrate the simplicities in life including good coffee, great friends and soccer. The proceeds from each of the 50 12-oz bags of Sounders Fútbol Club coffee will go towards new jerseys for the Sounders team.

Heading from Bogota to the Colombian coffee growing region of Tolima requires a trek through twisty turny one-lane highways riding in the company of big diesel trucks. We are in front of and behind the slow moving trucks carrying goods to and from the city to the ports on either coast, helping to keep the Colombian economy moving and the global economy spinning.

Our first Gold Standard Coffee comes from Tolima, Colombia and our friends at El Vergel Estates. We first met the Bayter Brothers, Shady and Elias, in Bogota in October 2019 and the love, passion, and knowledge they have for growing coffee is unparalleled. They are constantly experimenting to produce the best green coffee in the world and have devoted countless hours and resources to developing an exceptional level of quality while remaining committed to sustainability.

Ethiopia is not only the birthplace of coffee itself, but continues to produce some of the most exotic and highly sought after beans in the world. This particular Ethiopian coffee comes from the Guji region and is fully washed, sun dried and has tasting notes of tropical fruit, cane sugar and green tea. With medium body and bright acidity, this coffee is a favorite among those who love bright acidity in their cup along with the fruity notes Ethiopian coffee is so well known for.

This Central American coffee is a classic. It has medium body and bright acidity, making it a great option for a balanced and powerful espresso. It also blends well with milk if you enjoy lattes or coffee with cream. Honduras Pacavita is certified USDA organic and has tasting notes of rich milk chocolate and almond with complementing bright notes of citrus and a juicy body. Are you drooling yet?

We are excited to present to you all the second More Than Coffee Project, the Joel Booth Blend. For MTC Project #2, we are proud to partner with Homes For Our Troops, a nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post - 9/11 Veterans, to enable them to rebuild their lives.
