Our Journey
5 years ago, I was in prayer asking God what to do with my life. It was then that coffee chose me. From that day on, I began to steward a vision I saw in prayer.
Our Core Values
At Lion's Head Coffee
Our core principles reflect our commitment to striving for excellence in producing the best coffee while transforming lives around the world.
Exceptional Quality
Our coffee truly is exceptional. Often, if not always scoring over 85 points. We roast fresh, always ship fast, and maintain a clean climate-controlled warehouse. We only work with the best importers & exporters in the industry.
Farm-Cup Relationships
We take great pride in traveling across the world to personally meet the farmers and family-owned farms we get our beans from. We believe the roaster shouldn't blind buy coffee from some third party.
Farmers that are good stewards of their land. Producing coffee that is sustainable year after year and that ultimately enhances the land.
Purpose Driven
Everything we do is for the spreading the life and love of Jesus. Coffee is just the front that feeds the impact we get to have on the world.
We currently sow into an orphanage ministry in SA as well as an Anti-Sex trafficking ministry in LA.
Our heart is to ultimately fund an entire orphanage through Lion's Head Coffee.
As the founder of Lion's Head Coffee, my goal has always been to produce exceptional coffee that would ultimately change lives around the world. We are beginning to do just that.
