The Barefoot Way
---------------------------------
At Barefoot, coffee is our life and our passion, and we are totally so-lost-in-love with it. We travel to the countries of origin to find the most conscientious coffee producers and hand select the coffees that take our breath away with joy. Most of our harvests are purchased from farmers we know personally, and the utmost care taken to leave as little of our mark on their hard work as possible. Barefoot pays more for better quality, sustainably grown coffee and works hard to put more money in the hands of the farmers.


Coffee should taste fantastic.
----------------------------------
All of the partners and friends in the entire Barefoot Coffee circle know that none of us can improve anything in the coffee after it has reached the peak of ripeness. Once all of the complex carbohydrates, amino acid chains and lipids have been ripened by the sun and reached that perfectly sweet and juicy ripeness it is a mad race to preserve that intense flavor and quality. Neither the roaster, the Barista nor the grower can add or improve anything that exceptional care, great terroir and quality varietal has not already created. We are all guardians of this great coffee. It is a wonderful job. It takes a big serving of geeky science, a smidgen of arcane mystery and artistic skill, a barrel-full of craftsmanship and a plethora of passionate, craftspeople willing to do whatever it takes to keep striving for coffee perfection.
