The Best Collection of Black-Owned Coffees Online
Seattle is notably the epicenter for various specialty coffee roasters. A city recognized by its star lineup of specialty roasters, Herkimer Coffee, Kuma coffee, Seattle coffee works, Herkimer, Zoka coffee, to name a few. Not to mention Seattle is headquarters to Starbucks and Peet's Coffee. Over the years, specialty coffee has become a significant part of Seattle's identity, and the city has created its own coffee culture.
However, the coffee community, though, reflects neither the diversity of the origins of coffee nor the pluralism of the city. This is not solely in Seattle, but it cascades to other major coffee cities in America, Portland, Los Angeles, The Bay, Denver, and NY.
Hello, World!
Our primary mission is to deliver the Black Coffee Experience in every collection
There are thousands of coffee roasters in the US. Sadly, Black coffee roasters only represent a small margin of this highly coveted and competitive coffee market. Black Owned coffee roasters, and cafés are a "Shot in the Dark" a "Red Eye," an under-represented group unseen in this well-heeled industry.
Black Owned coffee proprietors are, for lack of words, the M&M's of Hip Hop, the Darius Ruckers, or Aaron Nevilles of County Music. We must acknowledge that country music had its roots in Blues founded by Black Africans but somehow now excluded and non-participant. African Americans abandoned this genre of music due to the circumstances of the Great Migration to the North. Many Black folks left the banjo, country music, and so many other African traditions in the South for a new life elsewhere. Yet Black influence in country and bluegrass remained substantial in fundamental ways, most notably as a guiding force behind its brightest luminaries.
NoirePack Inc. was born in Seattle, in Martin Luther King County. We are America's only hub for Black Owned coffees. We've partnered with several Black-Owned coffee roasters and brands, and ever since, we've been working relentlessly on shifting the discourse surrounding this popular beverage.
At NoirePack Inc., we believe that when small Black-Owned businesses flourish, so do our communities.
Each of our Black-Owned roasters is unique with a story worth sharing, and we are here to evangelize it.
Our primary mission is to deliver the Black coffee Experience in every box purchased.

Although Efrem, Owner, and founder of Boon Boona Coffee, does not lay down tracks.
He can lace you with a mean roast combo of some of the best-coveted coffees from the African continent. Like, Nipsey Hustle aka Ermias Joseph Asghedom, Efrem's roots hail from Eritrea. They both cherish the same ideals to uplift and foster pride in our Black communities. Nipsey did it with his venture The Marathon Clothing Store in Crenshaw, LA, and Efrem with Boon Boona Coffee in Renton, WA.

If you are in the Seattle area, be sure to visit and support Boon Boona Coffee's newest location in Capitol Hill or their central hub in Renton.
The disparity between Black and White coffee businesses lies in the obtainment of capital. But this is no surprise. Black entrepreneurs have always faced obstacles in accessing startup capital. Banks are twice as likely to provide business loans to White entrepreneurs than their Black counterparts. Conversely, they were also three times as likely to follow up with White applicants than with more qualified Black business owners. In 2014, 28.4% of Black entrepreneurs found that their profits were negatively impacted by their access to capital, while 22.6% were themselves negatively impacted by the actual cost of capital.
Housing, wealth building, and employment follow the same patterns. It's not been easy. We are talking about decades of redlining, segregation, and Jim Crowism. Fortunately, there is a silver lining to this. We are seeing a slight shift, a gradual change surrounding the current economic situation. George Floyd's death last year and the following mass protests put a spotlight on Black-white inequality in all forms, including the challenges for Black-owned businesses.
American consumers have increasingly put their money where their mouth is, spending more at Black-owned businesses and restaurants. Many organizations and many Americans across the country support Black-Owned businesses. They agree that more needs to be done for Black Americans regarding opportunities for meaningful savings, property ownership, credit building, and generational wealth.
At NoirePack Inc., we believe that when small Black-Owned businesses flourish, so do our communities.
This coveted Arabica plant can generate jobs and business ventures that may uplift and foster pride in our communities.
