The Origin of Anthem

For over 30 years, the Hanson Brothers have helped roasters across the country source great coffees that fulfill their cup quality and consistency needs. Their story starts in the 1970s with their Uncle Vaughn, the head buyer for Folgers. His career in coffee offered them precious insight into how to source and buy coffee in markets and countries around the world. They have  proudly borne his torch across the decades, adapting and growing into the 2nd and 3rd wave coffee revolutions.

Anthem Coffee Imports sources quality coffees from around the world through trusted networks and relationships with producers and exporters that trace back as far as 4 decades. Our team expertly manages each phase of the coffee purchasing process and strives to offer a flexible list of coffee origins to our clients. Don’t see something you want, a certain cup profile or a specific origin? Ask us, we probably know where to look.

Our quality, sourcing, and logistics teams are expert navigators of each phase of the importing process, from loading the truck at the farm to leaving port at origin to cupping through the offer, preship, and arrival sample process, we’ve worked through lots of different scenarios. We are constantly on the lookout for innovative processing methods and recognize all the qualities of a coffee, even those that others might reject. We look forward to helping our clients cross into and define what 4th wave coffee might look like.
