Witches Brew Coffee Co. • Our Values
We Choose Who We Pour From
Every drink we serve is connected to a choice we made. Our matcha, our teas, our giving — they all trace back to women-owned and women-led organizations doing meaningful work. That’s not an accident. It’s how we think buying should work.
Our Partners
Every matcha we serve — including our draft matcha on tap — comes from Mizuba Tea Co., a women-owned specialty tea company with over a decade of direct relationships with Japanese tea farmers. Mizuba sources ceremonial and culinary grade matcha that is non-GMO, certified radiation-free, and heavy-metal tested. They work exclusively with farms committed to preserving traditional stone-mill techniques, which is the only way to get matcha that actually tastes like something.
When you order a matcha at Witches Brew, you’re drinking the same quality that Mizuba built their entire reputation on.
Visit Mizuba →Our full tea menu — every herbal blend, every fireweed tea, every black and green blend — comes from Wild Coast Brew, founded by Micha, a farmer and chef who spent years running a farm-and-forest-to-table operation in the Coast Range Mountains of Oregon. Each blend is built around an archetype: ancient characters from myth and story, matched to the herbs, fungi, and foraged ingredients that best embody them. Small-batch, hand-blended, grown or ethically wildcrafted on their land.
The Heroine, The Lune, The Sage, The Protector — those names are Wild Coast’s. We carry them because the craft behind them is worth carrying.
Visit Wild Coast Brew →Yaupon is the only caffeinated plant native to North America, and CatSpring is one of the people doing the most serious work with it. Our yaupon tea comes from CatSpring Yaupon, a women-owned farm and producer dedicated to cultivating and reviving this overlooked American plant.
It’s smooth, naturally low in tannins, and carries a clean energy that’s unlike anything else on our menu. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s worth the curiosity.
Our drinking chocolate comes from Mulukakao, co-founded by Anjie Price — a Mississippi native and former Peace Corps volunteer — alongside Noel Montoya, a Nicaraguan farmer whose family has cultivated cacao for generations. The name means “the place of cacao,” and the product lives up to it.
Mulukakao works directly with smallholder farmers in Nicaragua through fair, transparent trade. What ends up in your cup is the result of that entire chain — from volcanic soil to our kitchen, with nothing cut along the way.
Visit Mulukakao →Tomato Club is Louisiana’s first dedicated neonatal kitten rescue, based right here in New Orleans. They rescue, foster, and rehome kittens that would otherwise have no path to survival — the kind of work that requires round-the-clock care and a community willing to show up for it.
We donate to Tomato Club because they’re local, women-led, and doing something that genuinely matters for this city. New Orleans takes care of its own. That includes the small ones.
Visit Tomato Club →Every cup you order here supports this chain. The matcha came from a women-owned Japanese tea partnership. The teas came from a women-owned blender on the Oregon coast. The yaupon was grown by a women-owned farm in Texas. The drinking chocolate was built on fair-trade cacao by a woman who went to Nicaragua and decided to stay and build something. And part of what we earn goes back to a women-led rescue doing hard work a few miles from this shop.
We think that’s worth knowing.
