Meet Our Team

  • Aaron Braun

    Co-Founder + Principal

    With 15 years of experience in the industry, Aaron just can’t seem to get away. While a certified Q Grader & SCA Licensed Instructor, Aaron considers himself a forever-student.

    Outside of work he’s either chasing his kids around or running away from them in the mountains.

  • Ted Phillips

    Co-Founder + Principal

    Ted has been selling coffee in one form or another to people across the counter and to people around the world since 2010. When he was serving 2 oz of espresso or selling shipping containers full of green coffee, he’s always sought to create value for everyone in the supply chain. He’s motivated to get more people drinking coffee that sustainably supports the people who bring it to us, and in a way that does the least harm to our planet.

  • Laura Hansen

    Roastery Manager

    Laura has been working in specialty coffee since 2018, starting as a barista before making the transition toward roasting, eventually managing the roastery of a small Vancouver cafe chain. She is focused now on developing her pallet with the goal of eventually becoming Q Grader certified and pushing her roasting skills further. When she’s not at work, Laura loves hunting for vintage clothing and listening to live music.
