About LULO

 

Our Sourcing Approach

LULO exists to slow it down.

In fact, we like to think of our offerings as slow-sourced.

To us, this means sourcing coffee from only five farms, year after year: one in Costa Rica and four in Colombia. All of whom we’ve worked with for years, stretching back before LULO existed. 

Our purpose is to show that sourcing like this helps address issues with the power paradigm and ensure greater mutual growth for everyone involved. As a result, it offers a deeply refined and plentiful menu.

By trading and building our name like this, we stake ourselves to those we work with as much as we can in an industry currently lacking in accountability. Our aim is to share the risk as much as possible or at least be consistent, reliable and flexible.

We believe the road to mutual growth and equality begin there.

From small air freight packages in 2020 all the way to our shipping container in 2024, LULO is all about getting and being involved with its value stream.

Our dream is to continue working with our current partner farms and their communities for years to come.
