Good Citizen Coffee Company

**Discover the Unseen Magic Behind Uncle Kelly's Coffee**

When you step into Uncle Kelly's Coffee Shop, you're not just indulging in your favorite brew—you're sipping on a story of sustainability, quality, and community. One of the elements that makes our coffee truly exceptional is our partnership with Good Citizen Coffee Company, a trailblazing Nashville roaster that's redefining the coffee landscape.

Founded in 2018, Good Citizen Coffee Company isn't just another coffee roaster; it's a beacon of ethical excellence and environmental stewardship. Their beans are not just locally roasted; they're crafted with a commitment to better business practices and a profound respect for nature.

Here's what sets Good Citizen apart: They pay their coffee bean pickers up to 50% more than the market average. This is not just a number—it's a testament to their dedication to fair trade and equitable practices. But their commitment doesn't stop there. Good Citizen is one of the few roasters in Nashville focusing on biodiverse farming. They go above and beyond by paying select farmers an additional 5% of their profits. Why? Because these farmers are cultivating more than just coffee beans—they're nurturing entire ecosystems.

Imagine farms where chemicals are a thing of the past, and trees, fruits, and vegetables flourish alongside coffee plants. This symbiotic relationship allows animals and insects to thrive, creating a natural cycle of fertilization and health. The unique touch? Farmers plant fruit trees near coffee plants, infusing the beans with subtle, fruity aromas that make each cup a sensory delight.

One standout from their remarkable lineup is our personal favorite: Hang Tough. This full-bodied dark roast is a symphony of rich chocolate and molasses notes, creating a brew that's both refreshing and indulgent. The moment you inhale the aroma, you're greeted with a scent that's as rich and inviting as the taste itself.

So, the next time you enjoy a cup of coffee at Uncle Kelly's, remember you're not just savoring a delicious drink—you're partaking in a broader movement towards sustainability and ethical business. Each sip of Hang Tough or any other Good Citizen roast is a celebration of biodiverse farming, fair trade, and a commitment to giving back to the environment.

Join us in raising a cup to coffee that makes a difference. Because here at Uncle Kelly's, every coffee you drink is a testament to a better, greener world.

Happy Sipping!
