It’s part of our mission at R!WC to uplift small businesses. It is hard to run a business of any size, but small businesses have a special place in our hearts. For a coffee shop or roaster to survive in an era of competition, tariffs, rising costs, fickle customer buying trends, and staffing challenges (to name a few), small coffee roasters have to be hustlers. They have to be grinders. They have to do the work.

Despite the challenges, I rarely see one small business try to take down another. Instead, they uplift each other. Is your coffee shop out of lids, milk, or toilet paper? Borrow some of ours. Planning an event? We’ll repost it on our feeds!

Why do they do this?

Because running a business is hard. Game recognize game.* The R!WC Collaboration** series lives in that vein of one business trying to give another a hand. The coffees we’re developing with our collab partners take both of our individual desires, blend them with our overlapping stories, and represent the hustle and grit it takes to grind it out day after day.

We all want coffee that tastes great and doesn’t hurt anyone. Our collab partners are sourcing ethical coffees that they then roast in small batches. Each collab is a limited edition of about 200. When they are gone, they are gone. Because of that, you’ll see some greater than regular offering sizes so you can really dial in the coffee on your home set-up.

Roastar, Inc., provides the packages, continuing their support of not only the Roast! West Coast effort, but the same small businesses we’re partnering with, visiting, and exploring the world through coffee with.
