Sourcing the Best: How Motorvated Finds the Perfect Beans

At Motorvated, we believe that every great cup of coffee begins with a journey—one that takes us to the lush mountainsides and fertile valleys of the world’s most renowned coffee-growing regions. Our dedication to sourcing premium coffee is what defines the rich, bold, and vibrant flavors you experience with each brew.

A Commitment to Quality

Sourcing coffee isn’t just about finding the right beans; it’s about forming connections with the passionate farmers who cultivate them. We travel across the globe to discover beans that tell a story, grown with care and harvested with expertise passed down through generations. Each cup of our coffee reflects the unique environment, culture, and hands that played a part in its creation.

Exploring Global Origins

Our coffees are sourced from a wide range of single-origin farms and cooperatives around the world, each contributing a distinct flavor profile that makes every sip from Motorvated unique.

  • Indonesia: Our single-origin medium-dark roast from Kintamani, Bali, combines volcanic loam soil, high altitudes, and traditional wet-hulled processing. The result is a deep, rich cup with notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and brown sugar, handpicked by smallholder farmers who take great pride in their work.

  • Brazil: In Brazil’s fertile volcanic soil, our medium roast is crafted by Fazenda Santa Barbara and neighboring farms. The Catuai and Mundo Novo varieties produce an elegant cup with smooth cocoa notes, a signature of the region’s unique pulped natural processing method.

  • Colombia: The farmers in Medellin, Colombia, supply us with a bean that bursts with fruit and has a deep chocolatey finish. Grown in volcanic loam soil at high altitudes, this coffee offers tasting notes of dried orange, berry, and chocolate—a true testament to the richness of Colombian terroir.

  • Ethiopia: Our medium-light roast from Sidama, Ethiopia, celebrates coffee's birthplace. Grown at high altitudes and naturally processed, it produces a cup with beautiful notes of milk chocolate, fruity undertones, and caramel.

  • Costa Rica: In Alajuela's highlands, micro-farmers produce our Costa Rican beans, yielding a medium roast with sweet apple, raisin, and honey notes. The eco-pulped process enhances the clean, bright flavors of this high-altitude coffee.

  • Kenya: Grown in the Othaya region of Nyeri County, Kenya, our medium roast offers a vibrant combination of bright acidity and citrusy notes, with hints of orange, lemon, and floral undertones. The high altitudes and fully washed processing create a lively, effervescent cup.

Each of these regions contributes something exceptional to our coffee. Whether it’s the perfect altitude, soil, or processing method, our commitment to diverse origins ensures that we bring only the best to your cup.

Sustainable and Ethical Practices

We’re not just about flavor; we’re committed to sustainability. Many of our coffees come from farms and cooperatives that prioritize ethical farming practices, environmental stewardship, and fair wages. Supporting smallholder farmers who rely on coffee production for their livelihood is a core part of our mission. By working directly with these farmers, we ensure our coffee is high-quality and grown with respect for the land and people who nurture it.

Crafting Specialty Blends

Once our beans arrive, our work truly begins. We meticulously roast them to bring out their optimal flavors. Whether we’re creating our signature House Blend or offering a single-origin medium roast from Guatemala, we take a small-batch approach to ensure consistency and quality in every roast. Each coffee is roasted to order, guaranteeing freshness when it reaches your hands.
