Brand Overview - Intro
Originated in Revere, MA, Kikos Coffee & Tea specializes in producing, sourcing, and providing high-quality coffee products and tea to B2B and B2C markets in the United States. As founders (Juan Arroyave and Peter Burgos), we wanted to bring "real" Colombian coffee, not blended with other origins or qualities to increase margins, but a coffee representing our culture and diversity. Since the creation of the brand Kikos has evolved rapidly due to our high bar for customer service and high-quality products.
We partner with Impact-U foundation to help educate those in need from vulnerable communities in Colombia on the social impact side of things. We are also active volunteers and support financially as much as we can. As you might imagine, COVID-19 impacted our business and our city. We have donated more than 1000 lbs of coffee in the last two years (and more than 400 lb the current year) to those in need, including partnering with organizations like YMCA, Women's Lunch Place, Basil Tree Catering, City of Boston and more.
