About

A MANIFESTO (THE COMPANY)

In Nordic culture, coffee is not a match for lighting one's daily schedule ablaze with busyness.

It is pause.
A deliberate stillness between moments.
An anchor of presence.
A way of listening
to the room,
to the record,
to the story across the table,
to the quiet inside yourself.

It is focus.
A deliberate sense of energy towards specific and meaningful moments.
A boost towards clarity.
A way of productivity.
to the meaningful,
to the simple,
to the dreams inside yourself.

                                                                                                                        

 

THE COMPANY exists to carry that sensibility forward by:

1. Importing Nordic coffees that are roasted with clarity and restraint, reflecting the culture's approach to life and well-being.

2. Curating "Nordic" style moments of well-being for our members to enjoy. 

3. Providing an extraordinary "Svart Pause" journey through the mountains and fjords of Norway with a coffee-sommelier, including Michelin-star meals, top-rated accommodations, and opportunities to meet local artists.

                                                                                                                        



CANDACE COXE

As a coffee sommelier, Candace possesses the expertise to assess coffee's quality, history, processing methods, and flavor profiles. This enables her to match small batches of coffee with those who will appreciate them most. Since coffee carries more bio-complexity than wine, Candace emphasizes more about individual preference as a determining factor and ignores the common language of "good vs. bad."


Upon returning to the USA, Candace missed her personally preferred Nordic-style coffee. She decided to collaborate with her community to offer imported goods and experiences that enhance the Nordic sense of intentionality and stillness.
