901 Roasted The Next Chapter: Coffee Sourcing and The Church by Andrew Banker
Since the birth of 901 Roasted in 2016, the focus has been bringing the freshest, highest quality coffee to the forefront of a coffee cup near you. The communities producing these fresh green (unroasted) beans have been on our hearts at 901 Roasted. Pairing our love for fresh roasted coffee and Gospel intentionality has led us to a partnership with Living Hope Church in Memphis, TN. Connecting missions to coffee has been a dream now becoming reality. Through church connections, we met our friend Jared Orrico in 2019. Jared, who also has a passion for coffee and the Gospel, has planted an Acts 29 church in Xalapa, Mexico. He runs a coffee shop Reformanda Barra de Café sourcing coffee beans from local farms to support the local community. After a short pandemic wait, 901 Roasted Founders Andrew and Savannah Banker along with Alan May are going to explore direct sourcing of coffee beans and ministry connections among the coffee growers and their families in May 2022. Each bag of coffee purchased will directly support the channeled relationship to our friends in Xalapa. No need to sugar coat. It’s that good. 901 Roasted is proudly served at Happy Glaze Donuts in Germantown, TN and The Ginger’s Bread & Co. in Memphis, TN.
