About Us

Why We Do This (And Why It Matters)

Sleepy Mango Coffee Company was built on the belief that specialty coffee should feel familiar, joyful, and accessible—not just in how it tastes, but in how it's made and who gets to be part of it.—not exclusive or intimidating. We roast extraordinarily delicious, small-batch, single-origin coffee in Decatur, Georgia, but the story starts long before that.

Coffee has been part of my life since I was a kid growing up in India. My first sip was at my Ammaamma’s table—four drops of filter coffee decoction stirred into my milk. That tiny act of indulgence set me on a lifelong path of chasing that taste. Since then, my journey has taken me across continents and cities—each place shaping my perspective on coffee, community, and resilience. Sleepy Mango Coffee is built with that same spirit: rejecting gatekeeping and prioritizing transparency, and shared prosperity.

What We Do

We specialize in seasonally sourced, high-quality specialty coffee that’s roasted with care and intention. Our signature blend, Bahari, showcases an intense, syrupy, chocolatey cup of coffee. It represents our mission to highlight unique coffee-growing regions while crafting a coffee experience that is both nostalgic and exciting. This blend highlights the deep historical connection between Eastern Africa and Western India—two coffee-growing regions with long established trade routed. Roasted separately and then combined, Bahari delivers a rich and balanced experience with every sip.

Beyond just coffee for your home, we’re committed to making specialty coffee more accessible and collaborative. That’s why we offer:

  • Wholesale & Retail Coffee – Freshly roasted coffee for home brewers, cafes, and businesses.

  • Green Unroasted Coffee – For home roasters and those wanting to experiment.

  • Toll Roasting & Private Labeling – Custom roasting and branding services for businesses.

  • In-Person Roasting Sessions (Coming Soon!) – Hands-on workshops to make roasting more accessible.

  • Consulting – If you want to chat about how to streamline operations or how to focus on a people-first approach, let’s chat.

Decolonizing Coffee: Building Something Different

Sleepy Mango Coffee Company isn’t just about roasting great coffee—it’s about dismantling the colonial structures that have shaped the coffee industry, creating real opportunities, and making specialty coffee accessible to those who have been left out. It’s about creating access, transparency, and shared prosperity in an industry that often operates on exclusivity. 

Anti-Capitalist Growth: Staying True

At Sleepy Mango, we reject the extractive nature of capitalism, resisting the pressure for rapid expansion, trends, and hustle culture. Instead, we believe in slow, sustainable growth—prioritizing relationships, ethical sourcing, and community impact.

Our core values guide everything we do:

  • Sustainable, Intentional Growth – We expand thoughtfully, maintaining our values and mission.

  • Shared Prosperity – Equity at every level of the supply chain, supporting coffee-growing communities.

  • Authentic Connections – Prioritizing relationships over transactions and storytelling over commodification.

  • Rejecting Hustle Culture – Valuing balance, well-being, and long-term sustainability.

We’re here to build something that lasts—a company rooted in our values, committed to uplifting coffee-growing communities, and crafting coffee that evokes both nostalgia and discovery.
