What Purity Coffee does

Purity Coffee is a privately-held, health-focused specialty coffee company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Greenville, USA. The company sells USDA Organic, Smithsonian Bird Friendly, and Demeter Biodynamic-certified specialty-grade Arabica coffee that is third-party lab-tested for mold, mycotoxins, pesticides, and heavy metals on every batch. Its core portfolio comprises five blends (FLOW, EASE, PROTECT, CALM, BALANCE) offered in whole bean, ground, single-serve pods, sachets, cold brew, and instant formats, supplemented by a premium Sacred Cups sub-brand of rare single-origin coffees from Colombia and Ethiopia, a coffee subscription service, wholesale programs, and an educational book. The company targets health-conscious consumers, specialty coffee enthusiasts, caffeine-sensitive drinkers, and wellness professionals, and reports 62,000+ verified reviews averaging 4.9+ stars.

Purity's technical differentiators are agronomic and chemical rather than digital. The company operates proprietary roasting protocols engineered to retain chlorogenic acids (CGA), trigonelline, and antioxidants while minimizing acrylamide and PAHs, and uses solvent-free Mountain Water and Swiss Water decaffeination processes that remove 99.9% of caffeine. It owns and operates Purity Coffee Farms Montebonito in Colombia (acquired 2022) and maintains long-term relationships with regenerative producers in Nicaragua and Honduras. Revenue is generated primarily through direct-to-consumer e-commerce at puritycoffee.com, with subscription plans (3- and 6-month prepaid, ~10% discount), plus retail distribution at Erewhon stores in greater Los Angeles, wholesale distribution via Faire.com and Shopcanal dropshipping, and a Superfiliate-powered affiliate program. Pricing ranges from $20-$32 for core SKUs to $50-$60 for premium and limited releases.

The business remains founder-owned (Andrew Salisbury as Founder, Amber Salisbury as Co-Founder), with 11-50 employees, and was bootstrapped through 2025 before raising $1,208,426 in an external round in July 2025. Certifications held include USDA Organic, Smithsonian Bird Friendly, Demeter Biodynamic, B Corp, and Specialty Coffee Association specialty-grade (80+). Distribution is currently concentrated in the United States with early international shipping to Canada.
