Blue Jazz is a second generation family owned coffee company. Our love for God and people is our guiding light. We strive to have excellence in all we do, positively impact the communities and customers we serve, and thoughtfully source the best tasting coffees from our favorite origins. We are deeply grateful for all who choose to be on this adventure with us!
While we wish we could be generous with all of the amazing organizations that do great things near us, we have selected 7 amazing organizations to receive a percentage of the profits from the sale of each bag of our coffee. Your purchases are helping support healthy community through this portfolio of goodness.
Healthy World:
Trash Mountain Project – This is the organization that helped us begin to think outside of ourselves when we started the meal for every bag program back in 2014, allowing our customers to help provide well over 200,000 meals to date for kids living near a trash dump in the Dominican Republic. We’ve recently scaled back this program to make some room for the more local to us organizations below, but your purchases continue to contribute to this long time favorite charitable partner. www.trashmountain.com
Healthy Minds:
Christ First Counseling Center – CFCC provides Topeka and surrounding areas with compassionate Christ-centered care. They are a highly self-sustaining non-profit model, with only a small portion of their income needed from donations. Blue Jazz is healthier because of the loving care of CFCC. www.christfirstcounseling.com

One of the current ways we serve our home town of Topeka, KS includes promoting community and featuring local businesses through our Tasting Room Events we host in our roasting facility. We pair up a local food provider with an abundance of our coffee. Our goal in these events is to bring a large group together to celebrate being together in person, and to enjoy excellent locally produced goods and flavors. We feel this is something worth investing our time and profits in. Our world is in desperate need of more face-time with each other and overall support of our local businesses. Subscribe to our email list to stay up to date on upcoming events.
