I have a coffee company, how did that happen?

As some of you may know, I recently started my first endeavor into a business orientated around physical products. I didn’t exactly pick the easiest of products, I picked a consumable product, coffee.

In addition to being consumable, adding another degree of difficulty, it’s also the worlds second most traded commodity, meaning the price of the raw materials differs drastically not only from week to week, but from minute to minute.

Regardless, I decided to start this company back in December of last year, and it’s been six months of pure planning and then at the very end of August we hit that all important milestone and launched our first two blends of coffee into the world. Around one month on and we’ve made some exciting developments.

We’ve completely revamped our packaging, and we’ve been selling a considerable number of bags of coffee each week, and we’ve even done our first event, having a booth at the renowned Oxford Food & Wine festival, all thanks to a very helpful organizer who was kind enough to invite us.

In the month, we’ve also launched our wholesale department, selling coffee in bulk to restaurants, cafés, hotels and other establishments and we’ve got some awesome locations on board, and some exciting developments to announce in the coming weeks.

All in all, it has been an amazing experience thus far, selling an incredible product to some incredible people. Hopefully this is the birth of a brand, and I can go along for the ride and watch it flourish into one of the cornerstone brands of the next decade. We shall see, but as always, I’m hopeful.

Peace, love and coffee.
