The coffee importer helping small roasters stay competitive Crop to Cup maintains a focus on developing relationships with growers in new markets for beans While many people enjoy a morning cup of coffee to relax, the first sips of the day for Taylor Mork at Crop to Cup, a coffee importer in Gowanus, Brooklyn, are serious business. One Friday, Mork was raising spoonfuls of coffee to his mouth, unleashing a powerful slurp akin to a vacuum cleaner to taste each sample, before spitting them into a metal cup. Mork and co-founder Jake Elster established the business in 2007 just as specialty coffee began to take flight in the city, but spun off roasting operations to Brooklyn Roasting Co. in 2014. “Our passion was working with farmers to increase their quality and grow their volume,” said Mork, who looks to “nonstandard” regions for new partnerships. One of its first suppliers was the Buginyanya Farmers Group in Uganda, a country overshadowed in the specialty market by neighboring Kenya.

From there, Crop to Cup cultivated connections with growers in Tanzania’s Mbeya District, Buhorwa in Burundi and the states of Guerrero and Colima in Mexico. Roasters can visit the Gowanus café and sample brews, then buy from Crop to Cup’s “spot market” of imported coffees. Bigger clients such as Variety Coffee Roasters in Bushwick, Brooklyn, also place orders with partners overseas. Microroasters—which produce no more than 100,000 pounds of beans per year—seek out unique coffees and want beans that no one else will be using.Houses For Sale By Owner Lawton Ok Maya Bluestone, who runs Crop to Cup’s online sales, said a common question about a particular coffee is “Who else have you sold it to?”Cats For Sale Gatineau Get Crain's Daily AlertHunter Ceiling Fans With Lights Repair
