Our Values
Health
Our coffee and tea are naturally grown and chemical free, which has earned us the USDA organic certification. We aim to deliver the healthiest ingredients for your consumption.
Sustainability
We bring responsibly sourced coffee and tea from farmers who use organic and sustainable agricultural practices. Our goal is to support the environment and surrounding communities.
Community
We believe coffee and tea should be made kindly. When you purchase our organic coffee and tea, we donate 5% of our profits to support inner-city education.
Our Founder
I founded RespectfulLeaf because I want to pay it forward.
My name is Dana Hill and I created RespectfulLeaf as a way to bridge the gaps within and between communities. Over the past several years, I’ve seen these gaps firsthand working in the healthcare industry. I’ve witnessed health disparities driven by social and economic inequalities which inhibit a person’s ability to achieve optimal health. Our philosophy is to provide people with healthy, high quality, sustainably sourced coffee and tea, thoughtfully created to leave lasting impacts in the communities that grow it and the communities that enjoy it.
Coffee and tea remains with you no matter the ebbs and flows of your life. A hot mug of coffee jumpstarts your day, while a few sips of chamomile tea provides you soothing comfort to wrap up your night.
As such, RespectfulLeaf provides you with specialty coffee and premium loose-leaf tea certified organic by the USDA, free from harmful chemicals. Our single origin coffee is sourced from small farmer cooperatives, providing access to each country’s sharp, rich taste. Our tea is uniquely crafted for you to experience the full flavor of each ingredient.
When you purchase our coffee or tea, we send 5% of our profits to organizations that support inner-city education in Detroit. Having been born and raised in this city, it only feels natural to give back to the community that raised me.
As a black female business owner, it is my responsibility to be a leader that spearheads change by investing in my community.
