The Tribo Way of Life

---

The TRIBO WAY OF LIFE is about enjoying quality in all things, from the foods we eat to the tools we use to the places we visit and beyond.  We're passionate about exploring high-quality coffees, and truly love discovering the world's great producing origins.  Whether at home, in the office, on-the-road or off-the-beaten-path, we never settle for mediocre cups.  That is why, after one particularly fateful mountain trek, we developed TRIBO Coffee to ensure that we would always have delicious cups wherever life leads us.  That's our #tribowayoflife.  

We're looking forward to sharing TRIBO Coffee with you!

Shelly & Joe | Co-Founders

One day in the Fall of 2012 we were backpacking northern India’s Kangra Valley near Dharamasala – a place known for steep roads, fantastic mountain treks, and of course, being the home of the Dalai Lama. For hours we followed our Nepalese guide (see photo) high into the remote, tranquil and challenging Himalayan landscape.  The altitude was humbling, and the sun was bright. Then, almost like a mirage, far from and high above civilization, we happened upon a small, stone-built café. In this most unlikely place we rested and enjoyed cups of fresh brewed coffee and tea on a stone patio that overlooked the breathtaking, sprawling valley.  Enjoying delicious cups in that wonderfully remote place inspired us to create a superb coffee experience that can be enjoyed anytime and anywhere.  

TRIBO Coffee gives you the freedom to have delicious cups whenever and wherever the mood strikes.  Our single serving pour over coffees provide great convenience and portability with the same exceptional fragrance, aroma, flavor and balance that you might expect from your favorite roaster.  All TRIBO coffees are sealed with natural nitrogen in our easy-to-use pour over filters to ensure that you have fresh and delicious cups every time.

All TRIBO portable coffees have been sourced, cupped and roasted in accordance with specialty coffee standards by SCA and CQI-certified professionals.  This ensures that each and every TRIBO pour over coffee is reliably and consistently delicious.    

GUIDED BY FLAVOR  

We choose particular beans and roast types in order to create delicious flavor profiles that you will enjoy.  Our skilled team roast TRIBO coffees in small batches to elicit desired flavors that are consistent with their intrinsic flavor potential.  

ORIGINS, CULTURES & FLAVORS REPRESENTED  

Our single origin offerings are sourced from some of specialty coffee's most established and interesting origins -- Ethiopia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Papua New Guinea and more.  Each coffee is roasted and delivered to you with painstaking focus on capturing the optimal natural intrinsic flavors that best represent their respective origins, cultures and unique environments.   

ROASTED ARTISTRY  

Blended coffees are frequently regarded as a soup of poor-quality beans lumped together to mask defects and save money.  That is until our lead roaster Vincent Yao took-up the task.  As an International Coffee Tasting Gold Medal winner, Vincent  treats blending coffees with the artistry that it deserves.  Our EXPEDITION, CAMPFIRE and FRONTIER blends represent Vincent's complex blending skills in action.  Based on his extensive knowledge of bean chemistry and composition, Vincent chose a variety of specialty grade beans across multiple continents to create deliciously complex, well-balanced cups bursting with natural chocolate, nutty and fruit notes that we think you will really enjoy!
