Our Sourcing Philosophy
We see coffee as a craft that connects people, places and cultures. Guided by simplicity, respect and responsibility, our sourcing philosophy shapes every step from farm to cup.
Quality and Character
We work exclusively with specialty grade coffees that reflect the highest standards of quality and traceability. Each lot is carefully cultivated and processed to reveal the distinct character of its origin. Behind every bean lies a story of soil, altitude and care, told through the dedication of those who grow it.
Relationships and Responsibility
Our team builds long term partnerships with farmers and cooperatives who share our commitment to sustainability and ethical practice. By sourcing transparently and paying fair prices, we support farming communities and encourage ongoing investment in quality and environmental care.
Traceability and Environment
Every coffee we select can be traced back to the specific farm or washing station where it was produced. We partner with producers who cultivate coffee through sustainable methods such as shade grown farming and organic soil management, protecting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance.
Roasting with Intention
As roasters, we see our role as honoring the work done at origin. Each roast is designed to express the natural sweetness, acidity and aroma of the coffee while preserving its authentic sense of place.
Sourcing at Kanso is a mindful act rooted in attention and respect. By valuing the human hands and natural systems behind every bean, we aim to craft coffee that carries integrity, transparency and positive impact, from origin to cup.
