Our Story
From a single farm visit to a movement built on people, purpose, and a better cup of coffee.
Coffee isn’t just a product, it’s a relationship. Between land and grower. Between grower and roaster. Between you and the people who make your daily ritual possible.
Lost & Found was built to bring those relationships back into focus.
We started with one farm and a simple goal: make coffee more human. Today, that goal has grown into a community that spans continents, but it’s still rooted in the same belief:
The story behind your coffee matters.
Our Mission
Coffee with a story.
A purpose.
A face.
We’re not here to sell buzzwords or hop on trends. We’re here to create real, lasting change, by buying coffee directly from smallholder farmers, paying them fairly, and sharing their stories with the world.
We believe in:
- Radical transparency
- Real, face-to-face sourcing
- Fair pay and long-term partnerships
- Sustainable, biodiversity-first farming
- And beautiful, world-class coffee that reflects all of it
This isn’t charity. This is partnership. This is a better supply chain, and a better future.
Why Ethical Sourcing
Because the coffee industry has to change.
Behind the scenes of most coffee is a broken system. Smallholder farmers are underpaid. Climate change is threatening their land. And consumers are often kept in the dark.
We’re working to flip that model, by paying directly, sourcing transparently, and putting people over profit.
Meet Your Farmers
Know who grows your coffee.
Know what your money supports.
We travel to origin to build relationships — not transactions. Our farmers aren’t vendors. They’re friends, collaborators, and co-authors of everything we do.
Each origin has a name. A family. A legacy. And every bag we roast carries that story forward.
