Lao Mountain Coffee

The circle

We clear unexploded ordnance from a coffee garden. The farmer plants new seedlings on land that's now safe. Five years later, the trees yield blood-red cherries — a cash crop, often the family's first. We buy the harvest and sell the roast in America. The proceeds fund the next clearance.

Every order is a small bet on a generation of children growing up in villages where the ground beneath them is no longer dangerous.
