Founded in 1995, San Rafael-based Equator Coffees & Teas has justifiably earned an outstanding reputation as coffee purveyors and roasters and is far ahead of the curve in advancing sustainability practices that encourage productive relationships and an empowered chain of supply.
Co-founders Helen Russell and Brooke McDonnell procure coffees from growers who practice responsible land stewardship and ensure superior quality through artisan blend development, efficient small-batch roasting, and cutting-edge brewing technology and training. Over half of Equator’s coffees are certified Organic, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance or a combination of all three. Named America’s 2010 Roaster of the Year in Roast Magazine’s highly competitive challenge, Equator triumphed over 40 of the country’s best coffee roasters for their special blend of quality, sustainability, and business innovation.
