Most people think coffee comes from a bean. It doesn't.

It's the seed of a fruit grown, picked, washed, and dried by hand before it ever reaches your cup.

Intelligenstia talks about its fair practices within partnerships, and how committed they are to the highest quality possible, and our job was to finally show what that means.
