Soooo… Who's Jim?

That handsome fellow on your screen is Jim Cannell. Jim is the owner/operator/founder of James C. Cannell Coffees, the company which roasts markets and distributes Jim's Organic Coffee™.

In 1985, Jim Cannell happened upon the coffee industry by chance when, while seeking work in Manhattan's Wall Street district, he was gruffly told by his future boss "OK kid, here's a desk, pick up the phone." Thus an odyssey in the green (unroasted) coffee business began.

In 1992, with a knowledge of coffee and a desire to roast organic, Jim started his own roasting company. Just two years of growth and success attracted the attention of a larger company who made a merger offer which made a great deal of sense. After working for the larger company for a short time, Jim felt his coffee and customers were better served in a way where he could keep a sharper eye on quality, and Jim's Organic Coffee™ was born.

Jim’s passion for organic coffee comes from the real sense that we are all part of one ecosystem; and that the decisions we all make have effects on other places and people. Jim is not preachy about organic coffee, it is just what he wants to be part of in the coffee business; and fortunately he is not alone.

Jim's Organic Coffee™ is so much more than Jim!

We are Tracy, Gregg, Neil, Mike, Kristy, Ali, Tiffany, Jerzon, Luke, Osmar and Mary and we each bring a unique talent and personality to the equation. These folks, plus the extended ‘family’ of retailers, baristas, farmers, suppliers and friends all contribute to the unique flavor that is the Jim's Organic Coffee™.
