Bay Area-Based Progeny Coffee Set to Bring Pastries and Pour-Over Colombian Coffee to Palo Alto | Eater SF

"A young coffee company launched in 2016 by husband-and-wife founders, Progeny Coffee focuses exclusively on Colombian specialty coffees and on improving conditions for farmers in Palacio’s home country through agroecologically produced, intercropped beans and by creating platforms for farmers to share their stories at companies like Google. Co-owners John Trabelsi (a certified Q-Grader) and Maria Palacio (a Latina immigrant entrepreneur) built the company around sourcing single-origin micro-lots and ensuring cafe cups mirror the flavors found at the farm; opening a physical location at Hope Cafe is presented as the next step to extend that mission to Bay Area workers and customers while continuing to educate the public about coffee." - Paolo Bicchieri
