Ethos roasters

OUR JOURNEY

We are two passionate entrepreneurs that grew up in coffee-growing regions - Colombia & Guatemala. Our dream is to elevate your coffee experience well beyond taste - we want you to brew a cup that helps change the world!

Our love for coffee began at a very early age... Jolian grew up in Colombia’s “Eje Cafetero” (“coffee-lands”), literally surrounded by coffee farms, and Lisbeth grew up in Guatemala City, drinking “cafe con leche” since she was a toddler. Our paths crossed a few decades later, in the beautiful Sunshine State, where we fell in love and connected over a shared, strong passion for doing something that would make a difference in our world’s poorest regions (which happen to grow the best coffee in the world!). We truly believe the best way to lift people out of poverty is through OPPORTUNITY - so in 2016, after getting our doctorate degrees (PhD and MD) - and some savings!, we moved back to Florida to devote our lives to creating opportunities!

We seek to champion better prices for small farmer cooperatives that focus on quality and sustainability and aim for coffee greatness at every step (including roasting fresh every time!) so we can delight  you and keep creating the kind of economic opportunity that transforms lives. Our most impactful coffee yet, from Poaquil, Guatemala is sourced at 3 times market price directly from the Cooperative - which has allowed them, for the first time, to invest in equipment for a better future! Thank YOU for making it possible, and for the privilege of being your roasters!
