Pura Vida Coffee is a nonprofit based in the Seattle area, and we’re a hug fan of these guys work and mission. Started by two business students, Pura Vida proves that the power of capitalism can be used to “Create Good”, a refreshing idea in our age of Enrons and bank bailouts. The company has chosen to use coffee as its medium (we love this), and they freely share their business model of “Creating Good” with business community at large, often consulting and speaking to businesses about how they two can “Create Good” in there work place, communities and world.

Pura Vida Coffee is a great company, with great coffee and a great vision for serving the local and global community. We want to thank these guys for all they do and how they help coffee farmers and their families experience healthier and more sustainable lives. Keep up the good work.
