Manage episode 403711920 series 3412061
In this episode of The Hilltop Glove Podcast, we feature Monifa Lemons, the owner of Haiku Coffee, a black-owned coffee roasting company based in Columbia, South Carolina. With a background as a poetry organization director and a poet/spoken word artist for over two decades, Monifa's love for coffee and poetry intersected, leading her to launch Haiku Coffee in November 2020 with her four daughters. The name "Haiku" reflects the company's commitment to perfection, as the poetic form consists of 17 syllables with precise structure.
Haiku Coffee stands out by sourcing coffee directly from Africa, offering unique and flavorful blends. Starting at Soda City Market in downtown Columbia, the company has been growing steadily and aims to expand into wholesaling at grocery stores and coffee shops nationwide. Join us in this captivating episode as we explore Monifa's inspiring journey, her passion for both coffee and poetry, and the vision behind Haiku Coffee's ambitious growth plans.
