Excerpt From the Article
“For Lisa Lawson, Dear Green—Roast’s 2025 Micro Roaster of the Year—is a labor of love, a tangible expression of her own core values. ‘When you start a business,’ says Lawson, who founded the company in 2011, ‘you don’t know you have a mission, or you should have, and it’s just when someone asks you, you realize what it is. From the early days, it’s just your personal values that you bring to the business.’ Those values, and thus the company mission, fall into three broad categories: People. Planet. Product. And as the company has grown, Dear Green has not only stayed true to those values, it has blossomed into a powerful force for social and environmental good as well as a pioneering champion for specialty coffee in its hometown of Glasgow, Scotland, and beyond.”
