Kickapoo Coffee
Kickapoo Coffee is all about family, fair trade and a top quality coffee product.
This is a family run business located near the scenic Kickapoo River in the Driftless region of southwest Wisconsin.
Kickapoo builds direct Fair Trade partnerships with farmer cooperatives committed to quality and sustainability.
Each coffee is then roasted to express clarity, sweetness and complexity.
Maintaining truly direct and meaningful relationships with farmers is extremely difficult for coffee roasters, as importing and communicating with farmers takes resources most small companies do not have.
To that end, Kickapoo is an owner-member of Cooperative Coffees, a fair trade importing business owned by 23 like-minded roasters who are actively engaged in supporting our own importing cooperative.
Over 80 percent of their coffee is imported through Cooperative Coffees, and this number is increasing each year as Kickapoo develops partnerships with new producers around the world.
Kickapoo offers four major types of coffee, including
- Single Origin, a lighter roast
- Blends, real crowd pleasers with generous body and singular balance
- Espresso, using blends from Latin America and Africa, which results in a rich full body with muted acidity
- Decaf, which is water-processed and carefully roasted to ensure a tasty cup of coffee without the caffeine
