Founded in 2011 by Jeff and Emily, Giv Coffee operates as a roasting initiative that combines a commitment to specialty coffee production with a mission to support international and local communities. The company emphasizes a meticulous approach to the coffee supply chain, from scrutinizing farmer partnerships and selecting high-quality micro-lots to obsessively roasting green beans to their ideal roast level. Their offerings include award-winning and farm-direct coffees that exceed specialty grade standards on the SCA scale. In 2015, the business established a roastery and café in Canton, Connecticut, which serves as a hub for coffee education and production. The company prioritizes fair wages for farmers and contributes a portion of the proceeds from every bag sold to charitable causes. By training baristas in precise brewing methodologies and maintaining transparency in their sourcing, Giv Coffee aims to ensure that the quality of the coffee reflects the hard work of the farmers and the roaster alike.
