Hey, we’re Parker & Zach, co-founders of Biota.
Zach and I crossed paths in 2021: two average cups of joe searching for a coffee brand that treated people and the planet with the respect they deserved. When we couldn’t find what we were looking for, we launched an experiment to build a better coffee supply chain from the ground up. Today, we’re proud to offer a guilt-free source of green energy that is better for you, better for the planet, and better for the folks who grew it. That’s what Biota Coffee is all about - we hope you can taste the difference!
Our Values
Our Values
Use business to restore nature
Biota was born out of the realization that you can’t incrementally fix what is fundamentally broken. We view ourselves as cadets embarking on a journey to align ecological and financial outcomes.
Contribute more than you consume
A regenerative supply chain starts with forming quality relationships that help everyone prosper.
Champion the farmer
Farmers carry too much risk and reap too few rewards. We rebalance power to help our producers thrive.
Strive for durability
We focus on designing durable processes that can withstand and even benefit from disorder.
Adopt a high-commitment mindset
We encourage every team member to think like a founder, question assumptions, drive experiments, and be held accountable.
Be a rebel with a cause
We are mavericks who lead with curiosity, embrace uncertainty, and revel in the opportunity to work on systemic problems without clear answers.
