At Spiritus Coffee Co, we believe that coffee is more than just a beverage – it has the power to bring people together and foster connection in the present moment. Whether it's a first date, a quiet morning ritual, or a heart-to-heart conversation with a friend, coffee has the ability to bring us closer to ourselves and to one another. In addition to serving top-quality coffee, we are committed to giving back to our community. We believe that our success comes when we help others succeed, which is why we will donate 20% of all profits from the sale of our coffees to local non-profit organizations focused on mental health and substance abuse. One of our first partners is the 516 Light Foundation, an organization dedicated to spreading awareness, education, and resources for people affected by addiction in the community. We are also partnering with NAMI Dupage, an organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals with mental illness and their families through support, advocacy, and education. At Spiritus Coffee, we are passionate about sourcing the highest quality coffee beans. We work with farmers and coffee farming communities who prioritize quality over quantity and care about their communities and the environment. Our Ethiopian coffee is sourced from a women-owned cooperative, while our Kenyan varieties come from a Kenyan family farm through a direct trade relationship. By trading directly with these farmers, we are able to increase their returns by 35%. We also seek out unique and rare specialty micro-lots for those with the most discerning palates. Once our coffee arrives at our roastery in Lombard, IL or our commercial kitchen in Elmhurst, we begin the process of roasting each batch with the same intention and consciousness that we bring to our brand mission – turning routine into ritual. We manually roast each batch, using sight, smell, and taste to dial in the perfect roast profile and extract the best flavors from each coffee bean. We understand that life can be demanding and it can be difficult to find time to slow down and take a break. That's why we believe that a cup of coffee can be an opportunity for mindfulness, meditation, and quiet reflection. We hope that our coffee can help you take a moment to breathe deeply, sip in the present moment, and find peace in your day. So however you choose to brew and whatever is on your mind, we hope you'll join us in celebrating the spirit of coffee.
