Respite Coffee + Care began in the quiet moments between caregiving and grief — when a cup of coffee felt like a lifeline.
It all started with a caregiver turning her love for coffee into a ritual of rest, and grew to become a movement for healing. Today, each small-batch roast carries that same intention; to invite pause, presence, and to honor the sacred act of caring for yourself and others.
Every action we take is guided by our commitment to the “honoring process” — operating with the utmost respect for our planet, people, and product to create ripples of care.
We source our beans from producers who prioritize anti-slavery, anti-bribery, mutual profit share, forest preservation, and social and environmental justice in their seed to harvest to export practices.
We integrate the essence of caregiving into our sorting and roasting practices, crafting specific roasting profiles based on moisture levels, density, size and considering origin, altitude and drying processes.
We commit to sustainability from seed to cup, with environmentally responsible production partners, energy efficient roasting practices, and recyclable packaging materials.
