# About Us: Trailhead Coffee Roasters **Founded:** 2018. **Founders:** Maya & Jonas Ek. **Mission:** make traceable, single-origin coffee the easy default. **Audience:** home brewers tired of stale grocery beans. **Tone:** warm, grounded. ## 1. Hero 1. We're on a mission to put fresher, fairer coffee in your cup 2. Better mornings start with better beans 3. Coffee you can trace, roasted the week you drink it ## 2. The problem we exist to solve You bought "premium" beans that were roasted four months ago in a warehouse you'll never see. They taste flat because they are flat. You deserve to know where your coffee comes from and to drink it while it's still alive. ## 3. Origin story In 2018, Maya came back from a sourcing trip to Yirgacheffe and couldn't shake one thing: the farmers grew extraordinary coffee, and almost none of that quality survived the supply chain. "We tasted a cup at origin and then the same beans, months later, off a shelf at home. It was heartbreaking," she says. Jonas, a software engineer who'd been roasting in their garage for years, asked the obvious question: *why does it have to be this way?* It didn't. They sold their car, bought a 5kg roaster, and started shipping beans within 48 hours of roasting. ## 4. Mission & values We believe coffee is agriculture, not a commodity. **Traceability isn't a marketing badge — it's the whole point.** Three convictions guide us: roast small and often, pay growers above Fair Trade, and never hide a single step of the chain. ## 5. What makes us different - **Roasted-to-order:** your bag ships within 48h of roasting. - **Named farms:** every label lists the grower and the price we paid. - **Direct relationships:** we visit, we don't broker. ## 6. Team A nine-person crew of roasters, baristas, and one very particular green-coffee buyer (hi, Sven — he cups before coffee). We're small on purpose. ## 7. Milestones & trust 40,000 bags shipped · 14 partner farms · 0 beans older than two weeks · 4.9/5 from 2,300 reviews. ## 8. Customer-closing bridge You're not buying our story — you're starting yours. Every great morning routine begins with one honest cup, and we'd love it to be ours. ## 9. CTAs `Find your roast` · `Start a fresh-coffee subscription` · `Meet our farmers`
