"Kubal" (kuB'aal) is a Mayan word meaning "Our Father" in one of the languages spoken in the highlands of Guatemala. Translated literally, Café Kubal means “Coffee of Our Father”.
Who is this Father to whom we, and the Mayans who speak of their Father, refer? Together we share a belief in the truth of our God and Father and in his Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe that through Him all things were made; all things live, move; and have their being (John 1:3, Acts 17:28).
Fresh coffee is the best coffee. Our small-batch coffee roasters don't do a whole lot of volume, but that's just the way we want it. Our customers experience more freshness, and more flavor because of the way we do things; this makes it all a better value. We guarantee it. Call us purists, or unorthodox, but we will not change. Taste is too important. And since we practice same-day roasting and shipping, we prove to our customers that taste is as important to us as we know it is to them.
Is it possible to enjoy coffee not only with your mouth, but also with your soul? The people behind Café Kubal are concerned for all those involved in the chain of coffee supply. We think about the hands and the souls in each of the originating countries that picked the beans you now consume. We donate a percentage of our profits to those that need it in order to help break the cycle of poverty.
We in the developed first world would survive without coffee - much as we have grown to believe in our need for it. Others would struggle severely if we were to cease drinking it. Many of these regions that circle the globe depend on coffee as one of their primary exports. The wages earned by coffee farmers provide them with a lifestyle far below that with which many of us are familiar. Many souls in the third world depend on a narrow margin of survival from coffee.
Café Kubal is a response to a calling. Thank you, our coffee drinkers, for your part in helping us give back a little to those who supply us with one of our most beloved beverages. Remember, we are not in it for our personal gain. We are vigilantes for the sake of those who have no voice.
