Talitha Coffee Roasters Featured on Coffee Detective

 

We are incredibly excited and humbled to have been featured and reviewed by Coffee Detective, a highly respected voice in the coffee community. At Talitha Coffee Roasters, our mission goes beyond simply roasting coffee—we are committed to empowering survivors of trafficking by providing them with meaningful employment, support, and a pathway to a brighter future.

In their review, Coffee Detective beautifully captured the heart of what we do:

“Their mission is to support survivors of trafficking. Jenny, a survivor herself, works with her team to hire trafficking survivors and create workplaces that are supportive and designed to help survivors thrive. Their work extends beyond employing survivors in their coffee business. They also help with housing, food, clothing, and more. Their aim is to create a safe and sustainable path to a better future.

Every bag of Talitha coffee you buy supports this mission. As a father of 5 and grandfather of 8, I can’t think of a worthier or more important cause than protecting our children against exploitation.”

This thoughtful reflection perfectly captures the driving force behind everything we do at Talitha. From the beans we carefully source to the roasting process we hold to the highest standard, we ensure that every bag of coffee contributes to our mission of creating safe and sustainable futures for survivors.

That work takes place at our Barrio Logan coffee roastery, where every batch is roasted with the same focus on quality and consistency.

But it doesn’t stop there—Coffee Detective went on to review our Sunrise Signature Blend, and we’re proud to say the quality of our coffee matched the care that goes into our mission:

“Sometimes, when coffee is being roasted and sold in support of a cause, the quality of the coffee itself takes a back seat. But this isn’t the case with Talitha. Talitha Coffee Roasters is certified by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). In other words, the quality of the coffee they roast is aligned with their broader mission. If you’re going to help rebuild lives, do it on a foundation of care, quality, and excellence.”

We couldn’t agree more. Quality and mission go hand in hand, and we’re thrilled to see that reflected in Coffee Detective’s review.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Talitha Coffee Roasters. Every cup counts toward making a difference.
