We bring fantastic single origins, naturals, and delicious direct trade coffee to our customers through partnerships and collaborations around the world.

You make up your own world, and wrestle and shape your outcomes based on personal drive and your team. I'm always risking everything for my business.” Today, Bow Truss has been in business for three years and is privately held. Our team is very motivated and in love with the company's culture.
