About Us

Pursuit of distinction

Established in 2018 as Mama Bear Beans, we have been devoted to delivering quality without sacrifice. We endeavor to source coffee via fair trade—farming families should never have to worry about having food on their table. True specialty coffee demands fair prices all around. We work directly with farms and cooperatives to encourage experimentation and improvement, just as we do at home.

We've come a long way since our humble beginnings. While we've honed our craft over the years, we've converted countless lovers of coffee to specialty.

Throughout the years, we've made great strides in ethical production and packaging methods. Every paper product we use is a minimum of 40% post-consumer or 80% post-industrial recycled, and all of our coffee is packaged in home-compostable materials. We do our part in reducing environmental impact, and we hope you'll join us over a cup of fresh and unique flavors.






Give us a try—we promise to leave a lasting impression.
Each cup will have you asking, "where has this been all my life?"

Dedicated to the Mama Bear

The brand name that started it all, it's a tribute to the most important person of my world while I pursue my passion.

Through all the ups and downs of life, she has been my rock and my comfort. This has been a labor of love as I try to do her proud with my work in coffee, sharing the work of other mama (and papa) bears.

To the Mama Bear of my children, my person:
Thank you.
