Why was it important to only use high-quality, ethnically sourced coffee?

Everything we do, everything we create, is a reflection of our brand, our values, and our commitment to doing things differently. Our dedication to quality and our focus on creating amazing experiences can be found in everything we do from the analytics services we deliver, to the children’s books we authored, to creating high-end coffee to share with our closest friends. That’s why when we decided to create a 33 Sticks branded coffee, we couldn’t do it any other way but the absolute best.

To create such a high quality coffee, we worked with the team at Carico Global to source only the finest quality coffee available in the world, but even that wasn’t good enough, we wanted to make sure that the coffee that we purchased also had an immensely positive impact on the communities where the coffee is grown. Carico Global was the only coffee importer we could find that aligned with our goals, our values, and our mission to have a positive impact on the world.

UGANDAN BUGISU COFFEE

Bugisu is home to almost 20% of the world’s coffee farmers, Uganda’s coffee is prized for its taste and versatility which means it ends up as an ingredient for some of the world’s most known coffee blends. Only now is it being put to the forefront globally as single origin. Carico’s coffees are naturally farmed, inter-cropped and grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Grown under shade of indigenous trees, this allows the coffee fruit to grow and ripen slowly. The result is a harder bean which is then hand-picked when optimally ripe and then processed at a co-operative using a more delicate process known as wet-processing and are regularly turned as they dry in the sun.

The Roast

As with anything in life, starting with high quality ingredients is critical to producing a great final product but it’s the artistry in transforming those ingredients that truly creates not only a great product but an amazing experience.

And because creating amazing experiences is a core part of our role in the world, our reason for existing, a generic big box coffee roaster just wasn’t going to work for us. So we set out on a journey to find a roaster that aligned with our culture and purpose.
