Why did we start KWC Retreats.export.sourcing.roasting ?
After years in the specialty coffee industry, we came to a realization that there IS a disconnect between coffee lovers and origin. We had yet to see an approachable & AFFORDABLE program where an everyday barista could reach origin and truly be immersed in it. So we created KWC Retreats to solve that.
In our retreats, we take you through harvesting, planting, processing, drying, dry milling, and exporting coffee, hands-on at origin. Each step of the coffee chain will be an immersive experience, teaching and training around the entire process that coffee goes through at origin. We want you to experience & feel the workload it takes to make a great cup of coffee, and see all of the hands involved in bringing coffee from crop to cup.
tHANKS TO OUR RETREATS, WELL NEW CATEGORIES WERE BORN. EXPORTING HAPPEN DURING HARD TIMES IN PANDEMIC WHERE SMALL SHOPS AROUND THE US NEEDED PRVATE LABEL ROASTING FOR THE COFFEE SHOP AND NEEDED SOMETHING THAT COULD HOLD THEM A FLOAT. THEY ASKED US TO ROAST COFFEES THEY COULD GENUINELY PUSH AS THERE OWN. BUY COMMITTING TO BUY COFFEE PARCHMENT WITH US WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS.
ROASTERS SOON OF COURSE TOOK A NOTICE. OUR GOAL WASNT TO COMPETE WITH OUR MARKET RATHER HELP DEAR FRIENDS STAY WITH US IN COFFEE INDUSTRY. WE EXPLAIN AS WE ALWAYS DO THAT THIS IS FOCUSED ON SMALL CAFES IN NEED AND THIS TO US SHOWCASES SUSTAINABILITY FOR THEM AND ORIGIN. THIS WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE IN THE IS & ONLY ONE ORIGIN COLOMBIA AND NEVER OUR LABEL.
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST KWC ROASTING. SOMETHING IN OUR HEARTS WE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO. BUT DIDNT WANT TO DO IT WITHOUT INTENTION. NOW WITH FACILITATING COFFEE IN NORTH AMERICA AND EROUPE WE ALWAYS HAVE BITS AND PIECES OF GREAT COFFEE LEFT BEHIND SO WE ROAST IT FOR OUR FRIENDS ONLY IN THE US THAT OWN MULTI-ROASTERS. WE REALLY DON’T COMPETE WITH OUR ROASTING PARTNERS BY OFFERING ANY COLOMBIAN COFFEE BEING SOLD IN GREEN IN THE US. OUR INTENTION IS TO BE PART OF THE ROASTING COMMUNITY AND SHOWCASE OUR TEAM MEMBERS AT ORIGIN WHO ARE PROFESSIONAL ROASTERS AS WELL.
