ICYMI: We’re obsessive about our ingredients: where they’re grown and who grows them. So we searched nonstop to find the best in quality, and most ethically sourced, coffee – we found it at Vega Coffee in Nicaragua.
Noushin Ketabi, co-founder of Vega Coffee
95% of Vega’s farmers and roasters are women. Vega pays their farmers double the minimum wage, which helps them transform their lives and communities.
This is because they roast and distribute their own crops. Unlike most coffee, Vega’s beans are shipped right after roasting and frozen for the freshest, most flavorful bean. Here’s how it works:
THE SOIL: This part of Nicaragua receives more than 9 feet of rainfall each year, making the soil super fertile and perfect for growing coffee.
ORGANIC: No chemicals ever, so obviously Vega coffee was the perfect match.
TOP GRADE: Vega is fair trade coffee and in the top 2% of quality in the world, when tested by the Specialty Coffee Association of America.

Good ingredients matter. Who farms them, where they're grown, and what makes them better.
