SAN DIEGO, CA – June 14, 2023 Talitha Coffee, a new specialty coffee roaster headquartered in San Diego, announces its launch with a mission to provide hope and support to survivors of human trafficking by producing award winning, locally roasted coffee. Talitha partners with coffee-sourcing organizations that guarantee ethical supply chains, ensuring fair payment and respect for farmers who produce the beans. It also actively works to expand its direct trade relationships with farmers from various coffee origins. Talitha’s skilled roasters expertly roast each batch of beans to draw out unique flavors and take pride in offering a product that aligns with company values.

Talitha is more than just a coffee company with high industry standards. Talitha coffee aims to make an impact by providing employment opportunities, training, and support networks for survivors of sex trafficking as they build hopeful futures. Talitha coffee is a people-first coffee roasting company that is building a community committed to creating change together. Each bag of coffee supports this collaborative endeavor, directly contributing to a journey of healing, empowerment, and shared triumph. Witnessing the devastating intergenerational impact of trafficking from a young age, one of Talitha’s co-founders, Jenny Barber, and her husband Robert recognized the need for a sustainable solution. Combining their commitment and dedication to advocating for survivors with their passion for craft coffee, Talitha empowers these individuals to take back their power and write their own story.
To extend its community reach, the coffee roasting company has also created the “Talitha Survivor Support Network,” made up of a team of experts and organization leaders in the field of anti-trafficking. Through this network of collaboration, the company looks to further bolster its effectiveness in facilitating reintegration, reentry, and restoration for survivors. “Our goal is to inspire others by demonstrating that it is possible to make a positive impact while also creating value for customers, employees, and communities alike,” says Jenny Barber, Talitha Coffee co-founder. “We want to be a leader in a world where businesses are both profitable and transformative in facilitating positive change, as we are striving to accomplish in the anti-trafficking movement.”

In addition to launching their roasting operations, Talitha Coffee has just opened its first café in Liberty Station, offering a welcoming space for the community to gather and enjoy their specialty coffee. The café will also serve as a hub for events and initiatives aimed at raising awareness and support for survivors of sex trafficking.

Talitha Coffee’s hope-filled approachable specialty coffee is also offered online to consumers and has a focus on customizable coffee subscriptions. Along with subscriptions Talitha offers a full-service wholesale program providing coffee for businesses, including cafes, restaurants, churches, and hotels. The wholesale program also provides guidance for coffee bar layouts, equipment sourcing, supplies, menu design, and comprehensive professional barista staff training.
