When you relationally source coffee from origin, the potential for repeated excellence grows exponentially. Partnering with innovative producers who can replicate high quality coffee is just as important, if not more so, as finding high scoring coffees. Without a skilled producer, quality is just a byproduct of luck. Intentionally committing to a qualified producer means you’re able to watch them grow and flourish over time.
Evaluating coffee not just solely on taste but also on the character of the person who grew it is what led us to want to partner with Jaime Cartuche. When we were introduced to Jaime Cartuche and his coffee, we quickly realized that he brought years of experience and a bastion of knowledge to his craft. After working as the leader of the cultivation team at the famous Hacienda La Papaya farm and acting as a key player in its success, he purchased his own farm and began growing coffee three years ago. As we tasted his coffee we liked it from an assessment standpoint, but we also knew we specifically wanted to work with Jaime to see him succeed at an even greater level.

Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Corvus Coffee Roasters takes a direct, relationship-driven approach to sourcing and roasting. Founded in 2010 by Phil and Autumn Goodlaxson, the company is known for multi-year producer partnerships, a Farmer Focus Program, and strong internal training and benefits for staff. Corvus emphasizes storytelling, public engagement, and initiatives that support gender equity and inclusion across its operations.
For Goodlaxson, a smaller menu isn’t about exclusivity. He wants Corvus to feel approachable for anyone who walks in, whether they already follow specialty coffee closely or not. Winning over a customer who’s never paid attention to single-origin coffee is more meaningful to him than competing for the attention of those already immersed in the scene. By keeping the emphasis on quality, he hopes to spark curiosity that can grow over time.
what we’re most proud of is the way that we do business at origin, and how those values translate to how we do business here in the U.S. The transfer of this knowledge that only comes from knowing the farmers we work with and working with them in person, to our partners is our key differentiator.
