Where your membership goes.

100% of founding membership goes directly to the work in Nepal: the farm in the shade of Everest, the schools and clinics around it, the forested hillsides being rebuilt.

The Founders Circle exists because a community is already inside that work. Membership is what lets it scale.

What founding membership includes.

Everest Coffee Company. Rare, high-altitude coffee from the world's wildest origins.

Everest Coffee Company brings the world's rarest high-altitude coffees to the people who care where they came from. The first drop is from the shade of Everest, from the family of Tashi Wangchuk Tenzing, grandson of Tenzing Norgay, alongside Bandi Nima Sherpa Tenzing. Single origin, single valley, one harvest at a time.

The first US shipment lands August 2026. Founding members hold standing first-right on every drop that follows. Small lots from the highest farms in the world. Some released as rare limited runs. Always offered to the Circle before public release.

A note from Dirk.

A lot of you have asked how you can support what I have been building. This is the most direct way. Founding membership is what turns the work in Nepal from a few good years into something that lasts.

There are fifty founding memberships. The window stays open until the first coffee shipment goes out, and then it closes for good. If you want to be part of it at the very beginning, this is the moment.
