TK Coffee & Commodities

TK Coffee & Commodities I continued in the green coffee business joining with MP Mountanos Inc., in 1984 and fulltime upon graduating from Santa Clara University in 1988.

I started in the green coffee importation business at the age of 15 when I was given an opportunity to physically unload containers of green raw specialty coffee sacks for sample roasting and cupping in 1982. It was a great introduction to green coffee roasting cupping and evaluation that has taught me from the onset to appreciate this business in a way that many have never experienced. To put it

into perspective, the SCAA that year held its annual convention in the lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel in New Orleans with 15 exhibitors. The specialty coffee industry was in its infancy…. While at MP Mountanos Inc., Mark and Linda Mountanos gave me the opportunity to ride the specialty coffee wave from 1984 until 2004. It was during that period of time that I gained an appreciation for working with small, medium and large scale retail and wholesale roasters in relation to green sourcing, quality control, blend and roast development, consumer product marketing and most importantly relationship building. The specialty coffee business is based on relationships, and I have been fortunate to have established lasting relations in the coffee import-export world. “Coffee” relationships begin at the farm level and continue all of the way to the ultimate consumer. What I enjoy most is being able to “bridge” relationships and form solid opportunities for roasters and farming communities to experience and support one another. I have the greatest business in the world that can work directly with farms on one side and dedicated roasters on the other side of the spectrum. I would appreciate the opportunity to tap into my relationships and provide a great foundation for any company wanting to grow their business.
