• The Story
Johnson Brothers was founded in 1994 in Madison, WI, when Michael
Johnson began by selling coffee at the Dane County Farmer's Market
and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
From there, the business has grown to where they now roast on a
pair of Probat
Roasters and travel the world to meet with producers and source
the best coffees.
• Passions
"Just the best coffee" is their motto.
To them, "the best coffee" means sourcing "Relationship
Coffee" - finding the best beans and developing working relationships
with the growers, and buying from these growers on a Fair Trade
basis. Johnson Brothers uses third-party certification for their
Fair Trade coffee through TransFair USA, so there is documented
evidence that the coffee is truly Fair Trade.
