Provision Coffee

Curator's Notes

From deep in the heart of Arizona, surrounded by the idyllic landscapes of the Southwest, Provision Coffee was born with one goal in mind: community building. Co-founders Dan and Lawrence traveled the world meeting coffee farmers in order to understand the tricks of the trade and get an in-depth knowledge of the lifecycle of coffee from farm to cup. Maintaining direct relationships with these coffee farms and providing them with financial stability is at the core of their commitment to community building efforts.

From the Roaster

Provision started in 2011 with the idea of bringing the stories of smallholder coffee producers to coffee buyers and drinkers. We wanted to have fully transparent buying practices, and through that vision Provision grew into a coffee roaster, wholesale, and retail company. Our goal was, and remains, to make coffee approachable for all people. We continue to be quality focused, with the emphasis on longevity, commitment, and sustainability. Through this vision, we have our mission statement: “To build community through quality coffee, food, and beverage.” Our coffee is sourced through relationships with a particular importance on reciprocity and sustainability. Long term commitment is a major tenet to our buying practices. We aim to make at least 3-year commitments with producers, thus providing more financial sustainability for the years to come.
