Bartholomew Jones and Renata Henderson are the husband and wife behind the Memphis, Tennessee coffee company Cxffeeblack. I’ve never been but I’m hoping to go someday, to try their coffee and to talk to the community that they’ve built in their neighborhood. Bartholomew is a coffee educator, sharing his knowledge of coffee with his community and the world on his Youtube channel. Renata is a coffee roaster—as well as the company’s designer—having learned the art of roasting in Ethiopia. One of their goals is to create an entirely Black coffee supply chain, reclaiming some of the value of a half-trillion dollar coffee industry for the people who originally built it, and whose labor keeps it going.
