OUR MISSION Giv Coffee is a coffee roasting initiative that seeks to utilize coffee's global influence to bring about positive change in the international coffee communities, coffee consumers, and the lives of those in need. OUR GOALS Specifically, at Giv Coffee we acknowledge the importance of excellence throughout the whole life of a coffee bean, crop to cup. We only seek the best quality! Our green coffee buyer spends hours before each purchase, scrutinizing farmers and their lots, working with the importer to secure samples of the best crop. It’s only after we sample and agree that the beans meet our high standards that we purchase sacks of green coffee. Among our beans are award winners, micro-lots, and farm direct coffees, all well beyond specialty grade on the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) scale. Once the green beans are in our hands, we pay obsessive attention to roasting and freshness. Each lot of coffee is studied as our roaster determines its ‘sweet spot’; what roast level, to the degree, is right for that coffee bean. The painstakingly roasted beans are then packaged or placed into the hands of our trained baristas. Each Giv barista has been educated on the proper use of the espresso machine and in the ways of brewing methodology. It is this diligence that ensures all the hard work of the farmer and roaster will shine in this last step as you sip a perfectly extracted cup of coffee. Finally, at Giv Coffee, we seek fairly traded beans. All of our coffees are purchased responsibly and farmers get a fair price for their crop. On top of this, we give directly to those in need from the proceeds of each bag we sell.
