Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Wild Earth Coffee

What is Wild Earth Coffee? Wild Earth Coffee is a passion project founded by Curt (@barefootcurt), inspired by outdoor adventures, wildlife encounters, and wild mornings on the water or trails. We offer specialty-grade coffees roasted fresh on-demand, along with nature-inspired merch. A portion of every purchase supports wildlife, wilderness, and ocean conservation through trusted organizations like the Surfrider Foundation, Wildlife Conservation Network, and American Hiking Society.

Where do you source your coffee beans? Our coffees are ethically sourced from top coffee-growing regions in Central and South America, Africa, and beyond. We partner with Roastify, who works directly with trusted importers to select only specialty-grade beans known for exceptional quality and flavor.

Is your coffee organic? Our coffees are not certified organic. Roastify prioritizes actual quality, sustainability, and ethical practices over certifications, which can be costly and not always indicative of the best outcomes for farmers or the environment. They focus on transparent sourcing, paying well above fair trade standards (often 30-100% more), and supporting small farms with sustainable methods. This ensures high-quality, responsibly produced coffee without the limitations or expenses of certification.

How fresh is your coffee? Extremely fresh! Thanks to Roastify's roast-on-demand model, your coffee is roasted specifically for your order in small batches and shipped soon after. No sitting on shelves—peak flavor guaranteed.

What roast levels do you offer? We have a variety of single-origin coffees and blends in light, medium, and dark roasts to suit every taste—from bright and fruity lights to bold and robust darks. Check our shop for current options like Volcanic Vista and Citrus Summit.

Do you offer decaf or flavored coffees? Yes! We have Swiss Water Process decaf options and select seasonal flavored coffees (some organic-flavored varieties available through Roastify's catalog).

What grind options are available? Whole bean is our recommendation for maximum freshness, but we also offer ground options for drip, pour-over, French press, espresso, and more. Select your preference at checkout.

How does shipping work? We roast and ship quickly via Roastify's fulfillment. Orders are typically processed and on their way within days. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout, and we ship nationwide.

What payment methods do you accept? We use secure Shopify payments, accepting all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more.

How do purchases support conservation? A portion of proceeds from every coffee bag and merch item goes directly to our partner organizations: Surfrider Foundation (ocean protection), Wildlife Conservation Network (wildlife), and American Hiking Society (trails and wilderness). Your brew helps protect the wild places we love!

Do you offer merch like t-shirts and hats? Absolutely! Our Comfort Colors tees, sweatshirts, and hats feature nature-inspired designs, made with soft, eco-friendly materials. Perfect for your next adventure.

Can I return or exchange an item? Coffee is perishable, so we don't accept returns on opened bags, but unopened items can be returned within 30 days. Merch follows standard return policies—contact us for details.
