The Coffee

Six roasts. One mission.

Whole bean or ground, each from a named region of Haiti — and from farmers we've worked beside for over a decade.

Prices in USD. Whole bean stays freshest — grind just before you brew.

"We don't import coffee. We partner with the people who grow it."
Our Story

A social enterprise, not a middleman.

Lakou Reserve began in 2009 — named for the lakou, the shared courtyard at the heart of Haitian family life — with a simple idea: Haiti grows some of the world's finest coffee, and the people who grow it deserve to keep what it's worth. So we built the market instead of taking a cut of it.

We buy directly from farming cooperatives, roast for freshness, and return 100% of proceeds to the communities — funding agronomy training, small-business support, and the next harvest. Your morning cup is their livelihood.

From Haiti to Home

How your coffee travels.

From a mountainside in Thiotte to the mug in your hand — without the long chain of middlemen that usually swallows the value.

1

Grown

Smallholder families grow arabica at altitude across Haiti's coffee belt — Thiotte, Baptiste, Belle-Anse.

2

Bought direct

We purchase straight from the cooperatives at fair prices — no exporters skimming the margin.

3

Roasted fresh

Small-batch roasted to order so the bag that arrives tastes like it just left the roaster.

4

Returned

100% of proceeds flow back to the farming communities. You drink it; they grow from it.

The Impact

Every bag is a vote for a different kind of coffee trade.

Buy a bag, gift the sampler, or stock your office. However you drink it, you're funding agronomy training, reforestation, and real income in rural Haiti.
