Equator Coffees

Colombia recently experienced a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake centered around the country’s western coast. Colombia’s coffee producing regions have been some of the most severely impacted. Our love for coffee is inseparable from our love for the people who grow it, and we've maintained cherished relationships with farms, cooperatives, and exporters in Colombia for decades. From Tolima to Cauca—these producers need our support right now. Now through September 30th, we're donating 10% of all Colombia coffee sales, online and in cafes, to a relief fund with the National Federation of Colombian Coffee Growers to provide direct financial support to the communities impacted by the earthquake as they rebuild and recover. Your support helps provide communication tools and essential supplies. Thank you for helping us to show up for one another.

Meet our friends at Equator Coffees For nearly 30 years, Equator has been proving a simple idea: "Drinking good coffee leads to good things." Long before sustainability became a buzzword, Equator was building direct trade relationships with producers and helping shape what responsible coffee sourcing looks like today. But what we admire most about Equator is the role they've played in elevating coffee's place in the culinary world. Through partnerships with some of the best chefs and restaurants in the country (Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, Dominique Crenn, and many others) Equator helped make the case that coffee deserves the same care and attention as every other ingredient on the table. Not just how it tastes, but where it comes from, who grew it, and how it was sourced. At the same time, Equator has built a company rooted in accessibility, equity, and hospitality. They've created spaces where both newcomers and longtime enthusiasts can discover coffees that surprise, delight, and connect them to the people behind every cup. That's why we're excited to welcome Equator as one of Siip's founding roaster partners. Together, we'll help more people discover coffees they'll love and feel good about the choices they're making along the way.
