Lift Coffee Club
Welcome to Lift Coffee Club!
Our Team
Our journey began with our founder and CEO, Jim Lemmons, who traveled to over 70 countries, sampling coffee from around the globe. After tasting countless brews, Jim discovered that Ethiopia—the birthplace of coffee—offered the most exceptional flavors. Inspired by this revelation, he decided to import the finest Ethiopian coffee to the United States in 2020.
Coffee is backed by a passionate team:
