- Community_Coffee abstract "Community Coffee is a coffee roaster and distributor based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. As of 2005, it was the largest family-owned coffee brand in the United States, controlling 52% of the market in South Louisiana and 72% in Baton Rouge, and employing 850 people. The company has expanded distribution throughout markets in the Southeastern United States.Community Coffee began in 1919 when company founder Norman "Cap" Saurage began experimenting with coffee blends at his two grocery stores in downtown Baton Rouge. Demand for the coffee increased to the extent that by 1923 Saurage moved his coffee production to a converted barn, and in 1924 left his grocery business. The company now imports coffee beans from Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico through ports in New Orleans and Houston. Since 1988, it has run a program in which UPC labels from its products can be redeemed for donations to Louisiana schools. In 2002 Community entered into a deal with the Abahuzamugambi farming cooperative in Rwanda, facilitated by the PEARL agricultural program, to purchase Maraba Coffee, which was the first direct contract between an African farming cooperative and American coffee roaster.In 1995,Community Coffee began opening a chain of retail coffeehouses throughout Louisiana. Community also launched stores in Texas and Alabama, however, ventures in neighboring states failed due to the entrenchment of Starbucks and local brands. In 2013 Community spun off the coffee house business into a separate company named CC's Coffee House in order to facilitate out-of-state expansion.".
