Frog Friendly Coffee grew out of Karla Ferster's family trips to the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, where relatives brought coffee home from forest harvests and roasted it over open fires.
Karla grew up in Oaxaca and built the company with her cousin Pedro around 2006. The beans are harvested by family groups from cloud forest, where the coffee grows under existing tree cover rather than on cleared plantation.
Everything is small-batch roasted to order in Enderby. Whole bean coffee comes through the shop in medium, dark and espresso roasts.
