Tucked away in the central Amazon region, just east of the Andean mountain range, you’ll find the Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Pangoa headquarters. Pangoa has experienced a long and colorful history underscored with both good and hard times.
Founded 40 years ago by a group of 50 farmers, they once had membership above 1,700 farmers. That number declined dramatically during the late 1980s as strife in the region led many farmers to leave their land to escape violence. With peace on the horizon, more farmers are coming back and Pangoa’s membership has evened out with nearly 700 farmers. Pangoa represents our second longest trading relationship and stands as an example of the benefits that well-managed cooperatives can give their members.

A coffee as big as its namesake, Blue Ox is a tribute to everything we love about our home state. The Northwoods lore inspired us to create the best medium roast coffee blend as sweet as your secret spot in the woods. This blend begins with a pop of citrus and finishes with creamy caramel notes in your cup. From shimmering lakes to jack pine forests, this coffee complements your everyday commute or weekend adventure.
A well-crafted dark roast is a rare delight. This unique, organic French Roast coffee enters the dark side, accentuating deep, roasty flavors while developing the sweetness often void in faster, high-heat roasts. We believe a proper dark roast is perfect for an afternoon sweets break – and our organic French Roast coffee fits in just right!
