Why Crimson Cup?
Why Crimson Cup Coffee? When developing supply chains for Fresh Start Café & Bakery, we wanted more than just great products. We wanted great partners! And, when it came to coffee, we didn’t have to look farther than right in our own back yard – Columbus, Ohio.
Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea (Crimson Cup) is a 2020 Good Food Award winner, 2019 Golden Bean Champion for Small Franchise/Chain Roaster and Roast magazine’s 2016 Macro Roaster of the Year. Since 1991, Crimson Cup has roasted sustainably sourced craft coffee in small batches and sells coffee through over 350 independent coffee houses, grocers, colleges and universities, restaurants and food service operations across 38 states, Guam, and Bangladesh.
Companies reflect the character of their leaders. Greg Ubert, Founder and President of Crimson Cup, won the Kent Clapp Leadership Award as part of the 2020 Medical Mutual Pillar Awards for Community Service. The Pillar Awards recognize organizations making a difference in their communities through volunteering, charitable giving, pro-bono support and more. “Giving back is a core value at Crimson Cup,” Ubert said. “I’m proud of our commitment to Coffee+Community at home and abroad.”
As a reflection of its leader’s values, Crimson Cup’s FRIEND2FARMER program travels to meet the farmers and become directly involved in the coffee-growing communities by working hand-in-hand to develop better coffee and a better quality of life for the farmers, their families and their community. Each year, Crimson Cup’s team of cuppers travels over 100,000 miles to enlarge their impact in the coffee-farming world. Deep, ongoing relationships with coffee farmers helps the farmers create a sustainable future for their coffee. Through FRIEND2FARMER, Crimson Cup pays an above-market price for coffee so farmers can invest in their communities. With over 60 relationships, this program has helped to build new homes, paid for teachers and school supplies, funded construction of a community center and distributed water filtration devices, among other projects.
