Here at Alokino Gelato, we believe that living in harmony with nature should be fun, easy and tasty. We celebrate mother earth and we’re in business to help people live a sustainable life. We think the best way to reach our goal is to create great plant-based products with low environmental impact, starting from what our planet kindly gives to us. At Alokino we exploit the power of nature to create great products Our plant-based recipes are created from scratch, using only raw or low processed ingredients, without any preservatives, artificial dyes or highly processed ingredients in any phase of processing, as the ancient Italian tradition teaches us. At the core of what we do, there’s an innovative balancing method, that is much simpler and intuitive than others but requires a deep understanding of the properties of every ingredient, beside an artisanal craftmanship. Our Balancing method, refined for over 10 years of research and integration, guarantee for every recipe that the raw materials does not oxidize, the flavor remains unchanged and the texture obtained is creamier. Our choice changes the way of making gelato, allowing us to create a high-quality product beneficial for our costumers and less harmful for our planet, with no compromise on taste and texture. We just started our journey to contribute to a plant-based future and we truly hope you’ll join us and enjoy the ride Alokino Gelato Team

Double Gold Medal and 3x Silver Medal Winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020 La Tierra de Acre Mezcal began as a bootleg operation in 2017, tucked away in the foothills of San Jose del Cabo at Acre Baja, a lush sanctuary set on 25 acres of abundant greenery. Featuring elegant treehouses, organic farms, private event spaces, and an award-winning bar and restaurant. A place where connection and celebration is at the heart of everything. Acre Mezcal is an excuse to gather, catch up with old friends, and meet new ones. It’s a reflection of culture and exploration, rooted in a lifestyle of grounded luxury. Every sip of Acre Mezcal is an invitation to find YOUR wild spirit. La Tierra de Acre officially launched in Los Angeles at the beginning of 2020, winning awards at the SF Spirits Competition shortly thereafter. Our small batch Mezcaleros, who for generations have been sustainably perfecting their crafts throughout the most rural and beautiful places in Mexico, pour their hearts and souls into these award-winning artisanal mezcals. Each batch is an uncompromising reflection of the creators’ heritage and the land they thrive on. FROM THE EARTH, FOR THE EARTH Sustainability means the world to us at La Tierra de Acre, as it does to our producing partners. We are invested in both the sustainability of our Mezcaleros’ livelihoods and that of their communities, as well as that of the earth that gives us the beautiful Agave plant. SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES: Labels made of repurposed agave fiber waste from our mezcal production Mezcal production waste repurposed into adobe bricks for the local community Protecting the long term viability and biodiversity of wild and exotic agave varietals by allowing full growth for natural pollination, in addition to planting hundreds of thousands of agave seeds in a nursery, which are then moved to the wild as young agave.

Son of a Barista produces artisanal coffee. That means produced by artisans using traditional methods. Flavor, texture, and crema are Italian—in spirit, in production, in perfection. We choose organic coffee beans from around the world, roast and grind them in Italy, and create blends that delight any coffee drinker’s palate. With our curated selection of coffee pods, you can make any espresso-based drink conveniently at home or in the office. THE BUSINESS MODEL We believe so strongly in the quality of our coffee that we give you the coffee machine for free. After you fall in love with our coffee, our subscription service delivers coffee to your doorstep. Our D2C model, elevated by our user-friendly interface, allows customers to choose and edit their personalized coffee subscription at the click of a button. THE ORIGIN STORY Son of a Barista was founded by an Italian immigrant who wanted to enjoy great coffee the way he had done growing up in Italy. He went back to his roots to recreate what was missing on the American coffee market. Trained as an engineer, he understood that precise steam pressure and the exact amount of coffee are needed to create the perfect cup of coffee. THE CUSTOMERS We were conceived in the digital age where people’s shopping habits have been revolutionized. The days of trotting around massive flagship stores for coffee no longer suits the modern consumer’s busy schedule. Our customers demand high quality and convenience. And that’s what Son of a Barista gives them. THE B2B EXPERIENCE Son of a Barista also offers industrial coffee machines and provides our full range of coffees to meet the specific needs of hotels, restaurants, and business customers. Our B2B solutions enable your company to offer the perfect cup of coffee to your guests, customers, and clients, every time.
