About Me:

I love the coffee industry, the more I know, the more there is to know. I love connecting with people in the community through arts and photography as I do professional photography as well.
I hope to use my cafe as a space for networking and also for community works. Making it a business that is not strictly all about bottom line.

About My Company:

We are a network for cafe business operators who bunch together to get economies of scale in purchasing green beans and also all other necessary products needed for operating a cafe. We buy mainly fair trade organic beans and work directly with farmers. We import as much of our beans as directly as we can. We try to work with suppliers who shares our ideals on fairness and justices.
