"We started this company with one thing in mind: Integrity. We strive every day to be a coffee roaster that actually does what it says - not just roasting great coffee, but doing good things for the community and world. We believe in what we are doing everyday:
-
We only purchase certified Organic coffees - most are also certified Fair Trade.
-
We have partnered with Cafe Femenino and sell several of their offerings as our core coffees. They are a women-led speciality coffee brand that sources coffees from women-owned and operated farms and co-ops.
-
Our coffee bags are 100% biodegradable. Yes, even the labels!
-
When we ship out orders, they are sent in brown kraft envelopes or USPS-branded cardboard boxes - all of which are recyclable.
-
We buy our electric power thorough green energy producers.
Our company's name comes from Sleeping Giant State Park (Hamden, CT), one of Connecticut's hidden green gems. This mountainous beauty of a park is full of hiking trails, a stone tower, and streams - the namesake comes from the ridge line, which resembles a giant human lying down. The variety of terrain makes it accessible to hikers of all ages and abilities. It holds a special place in the heart of our founder, Jesse, who grew up frequenting the park and making memories as a young child, and now brings his own children hiking there often."
