We introduced the Atlas Collection back in 2020 as a line of limited-release single-origin coffees crafted to spotlight the values that guide our sourcing: quality, ethics, collaboration, and integrity. Each coffee in this collection is carefully curated by our team to not only reflect these principles—but to stand on its own as a truly delicious cup of Joe.
Kenya Kapkiyai
Origin: Nandi Hills, Rift Valley, Kenya
Producer: Kapkiyai Farmers Cooperative Society Women’s Group
While all four of our core values are deeply present in this offering from the Kapkiyai Farmers Cooperative Society Women’s Group in the Nandi Hills of Kenya’s Rift Valley, the heart of this sourcing relationship lies in its ethical foundation—addressing systemic inequities, prioritizing gender equity, expanding access to fair wages, and building inclusive structures within a historically exclusionary industry.
The intentional work of Vava Angwenyi and Vava Coffee Ltd to challenge gender inequality, reinvest in communities, and create lasting opportunities for smallholder farmers—especially those living below the poverty line—exemplifies what it means to source coffee ethically and responsibly. These improved farming practices and intentional producer investments have led to the consistent production of top grades (AA, AB, PB), underscoring the connection between sustainability and cup quality.
Kenyan coffees are often celebrated for their bright acidity, juicy fruit character, and exceptional clarity—and this offering is no exception. Grown at high elevations in nutrient-rich volcanic soil and cool mountain air, it delivers layered complexity and a vibrant, refreshing profile. Expect notes of rose, ripe mango, and tamarind, with a clean, lingering finish—hallmarks of high-quality Kenyan coffee.
Ethiopia Atnago
Origin: Limu Seka, Oromia, Ethiopia
Producer: Atnago Women's Cooperative
As we travel to another region of Africa, we look to the birthplace of coffee: Ethiopia. One of its top-producing zones lies in the Jimma area of the Oromia Region in western Ethiopia—a mountainous, highly productive coffee-growing landscape. The region is defined by elevated highlands, rich and fertile soils, and a cool climate ideal for cultivating Arabica coffee. It accounts for over 10% of Ethiopia’s total coffee output and more than 20% of Oromia’s. These high elevations and consistent rainfall create optimal conditions for washed coffees with distinct clarity, floral aromatics, and bright acidity. And this coffee is a standout expression of its region: vibrant, floral, and sweetly complex.
When held up to our sourcing values, this coffee shines—particularly in its integrity through a transparent supply chain that tells a deeper story. The Atnago group—founded in 2014 and composed of women who’ve been growing coffee for over 30 years—works in partnership with Fahem Trading to access capital, technical training, and sustainable market opportunities. These producers don’t just grow exceptional coffee; they’ve helped fund community flour mills and a local school, all while serving on Rainforest Alliance–certified committees focused on gender awareness and grievance resolution.
With insight from sourcing partner Artisan Coffee Imports, this coffee offers not just taste, but context—highlighting the nuanced landscape of gender equity, economic reform, and resilience in Ethiopia’s evolving coffee industry. Through this open exchange of information and shared goals, we stay accountable to one another and to a more transparent future for coffee.
