The name 'Brightside Blend' is influenced by a goal of a brighter future for the coffee industry. The coffees that make it into this blend are sourced sustainably where farmers are paid fairly.

At Nine Yards, we spend a lot of time on sourcing the coffee we purchase. We research and learn about farms, their ethics, their goals and their commitment to quality.
