Our founder, Chris Treter, recently had the pleasure of sharing our winter blend, Harbor, with our friends Adam and Alex at 9&10 News. Harbor blend benefits Safe Harbor, a seasonal emergency shelter.
Through our exploration of Congolese coffee and relationships developed there over the past few years, we have been introduced to the farmers of Kawa Kanzururu--a young cooperative demonstrating an innovative economic model for surrounding communities--and also to the incredible work of the Virunga Alliance, which provides essential jobs, protects biodiversity, and guards critically endangered mountain gorillas within Virunga National Park. Here at Higher Grounds, we want to shine a light on those who have begun to rebuild the infrastructure necessary for sharing the DRC's incredible coffee with the world.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting our friends Sarah and Stephanie from 9&10 News at the Coffee Bar and Roastery. Below is a recap from their early morning visit. We look forward to spreading the word on what's happening around Higher Grounds this season!
Special meals and gatherings with friends and family are what the holidays are all about. Our coffee menu will sustain you at every turn, offering a wide range of selections for rounding out all your holiday moments.
