Coffee Uplifts People
Transparency and Evolution
We represent a significant point in the coffee industries evolution and transparency of its origins. With a name like Coffee Uplifts People we obviously speak more to coffee’s promise than its legacy.
Transparently, coffee’s stained history is riddled with everything but upliftment, from a colonial, slave-built economy that relied on European and American trade with Central and South America, the Caribbean, Asia and its African origins. Additionally, a long checkered history of trade exploitation to a more recent symbolization of forthcoming gentrification to inner-city American neighborhoods, the narrative around the coffee cherry that we commercially prize for its bean has come a long way from its beautiful origins of Ethiopia.

I love my CUP. There’s nothing like the first sip of coffee in the morning. Whether it’s a dark roast made from coarse grounds and a French press or something lighter via your reliable CUP, it’s hard to go wrong.

Who We Are
Managed and Owned by a Majority-Minority, Diversity and Inclusiveness is at the heart of our brand.
Our every conversation and corresponding products challenge the checkered history of exclusion within the coffee industry and unlock the boundless potential of coffee for its taste, healthy attributes and social magnetism.
Coffee Uplifts People is a creation of Brew 112, a Brooklyn based brew specialty brand founded by globally syndicated radio personality, Angela Yee of The Breakfast Club, Tony Forte, LaRon Batchelor.
With a proficiency in storytelling, a shared affinity for all things brew and headquartered in the borough of Brooklyn, NY, thus the “One One Two” in Brew 112 being a nod to the globally recognized borough’s zip code prefix (every area of Brooklyn starts with 112), the group has set out to lend a unique voice and distinct quality to the world of brew, beginning with coffee!
