HINESBURG, Vermont, S.S. – Founded in 1992 in Burlington, Vermont by Daniel Cox, the company has grown and expanded to include several critical functions to support the coffee & tea industries.

Founder and President Cox began his coffee career as the first full-time employee at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, where from 1981 until 1992 he was primarily responsible for their sales growth and national recognition as Vice President/Partner.

Coffee Enterprises started as a consulting and brokerage company for coffee and cocoa products.  Very quickly technical capabilities, Coffee Analysts and Tea Analysts, were added including world-class laboratories.

Coffee Ed was later started to provide educational services to support the needs of the growing industry.  The Extract & Ingredient operation was sold in allowing the company to concentrate on core services in quality and supply chain operations.

Most recently, Coffee Enterprises partnered with FlavorActiV (www.flavoractiv.com) to provide a comprehensive sensory calibration program to the coffee industry.

In 2016 the company relocated from its picturesque location along the banks of Lake Champlain in Burlington, VT to the verdant rolling countryside of Hinesburg, VT into the LEED Gold Certified, NRG System building.
