About Coachella Valley Coffee
Since his first trip to a coffee farm in 1998, Cliff Young has worked diligently to provide a quality product with beans obtained directly from the source. Over the years, Cliff has traveled the world judging coffees and coffee competitions. To be able to fully manage the quality of the coffees he provides, he leads and controls the entire process, starting with traveling to the coffee growing regions and visiting the farmers one-on-one, and ensuring that he can get the top 2 percent of their crops. He also ensures the growing and harvesting process meets his expectations of fairness of workers.
An LGBTQ business owner headquartered in the Coachella Valley city of Palm Springs, California, Cliff is active in both the business community, as well as in the community in general. A member of the Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce and The Desert Business Association, the LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce on the Coachella Valley, he is also the only coffee roaster in the region certified by the NGLCC–the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce.
No stranger to giving back to his community, Cliff and Coachella Valley Coffee also has a program called “Warming Souls” where profits from any of the collateral merchandise that is purchased on the website are dedicated to paying for a laundry service program for the local homeless community. On two or three Sundays each month, Cliff can be found at a local laundromat doing laundry for local homeless individuals, in addition to providing them with a daily hygiene kit, a pair of new warm socks, and coats or sleeping bags if needed.
