Queen City Coffee - Claudia & Juan Hernandez Honduras - (10oz.)

About The Product: This (10oz.) bag of coffee is generated from eight years of friendship, and seven coffee releases. One very welcome return. Claudia & Juan are back! These husband-and-wife producers in Santa Elena, Honduras have been part of the QC family for eight years, and we’re so pumped to have their coffee in our lineup again. Last year, tariffs and a volatile global coffee market made purchasing coffee financially untenable for our longtime export partner, Catracha Coffee. That meant a season without Claudia & Juan’s coffee at QC. Did you miss them?? We sure did. This seventh release feels especially good.

At the heart of this partnership is a simple idea: the people who grow coffee should share in its success. $1 from every bag sold goes back to Claudia & Juan, and they've elected to split that with their hired cherry pickers and a community health fund overseen by Catracha Coffee. That’s in addition to what we pay for the coffee itself.

About The Company: We believe that honest relationships, from farmers to consumers, achieve an equitable and sustainable coffee supply chain. In many ways, Queen City started in the mid-2000s while we worked, researched, and played in rural Africa. From Zimbabwe to Rwanda, we spent nearly a decade coordinating humanitarian programs, organizing research projects, and kicking around on humble soccer fields with friends. We learned about community in Africa — real, honest community.

Life eventually brought us back to our roots, back to Colorado and the great city of Denver. Along the way, we indulged our passion for coffee by moonlighting as baristas and roasters, and this made our next project an easy progression — we love our farmer friends + we love our city, the Queen City of the Plains + we love coffee — so we started a company that combines all these things!

Collective coffee means we’re doing this together — we have real, tangible connection with our coffee farmers; we know the conditions of their production; we then small-batch roast their coffee in the city we love and we proudly serve it in Denver’s historic Baker neighborhood. We believe everyone is welcome to this ragtag group because good coffee should build the collective good.
