Kahwa Coffee continues to hit home runs for charity, this time through a serendipitous Hall of Fame partnership that provides emergency cardiac care for kids.
Launched in 2006 by husband and wife duo Raphael and Sarah Perrier, Kahwa has become an all-star in the world of coffee. The St. Pete-based company is now the largest independent coffee roaster in Florida, with 15 retail locations (and counting). In addition to a large online presence, area hotels, restaurants and 80 Publix grocers now offer Kahwa products.
Following a new partnership with retired Boston Red Sox slugger David “Big Papi” Ortiz, Kahwa is likely to increase its fan base throughout New England while raising money for children who cannot afford critical cardiac care.
“It’s always been the number one priority of the company,” said Raphael Perrier. “Since we started the company, it’s always been a focus on everything we could do to give back.”
