Our Story
Life moves fast. We believe it’s worth slowing down — because life tastes better when it’s brewed with meaning.
Born From a Moment
829 Coffee & Tea Co. was born from a day that changed everything.
August 29th is more than a date. It is a reminder of how precious life is, how quickly moments pass, and how deeply one life can shape the people around them. What began as a day of loss became the foundation for something meaningful — a way to honor a life marked by courage, loyalty, and an unforgettable spirit.
He was bold, strong-willed, loyal, and funny. He showed up for the people he loved and had a way of making others feel seen and valued. His presence left a lasting imprint, and he lived a life that was never defined by just one day. We didn’t want his memory to be either.
This company was created so that August 29th would never be remembered only for what was lost, but also for the life behind the date — something simple, warm, and lasting.
A Sign of Love That Stays
The red cardinal in our logo was chosen with intention.
For many, a cardinal is seen as a sign of remembrance, hope, and the enduring presence of someone deeply loved. It appears in ordinary places — on a branch, outside a window, in the stillness of a morning — yet somehow makes the moment feel anything but ordinary.
The cardinal represents comfort, connection, and the belief that love does not disappear. Its bright red color stands out with warmth and strength, reminding us to pause, pay attention, and notice the beauty that still shows up around us.
For us, the cardinal is more than a symbol. It is a quiet reminder that the people we love remain part of our story.
One Cup, One Meaningful Moment
We created 829 Coffee & Tea Co. because coffee already has a way of bringing people back to the moment.
It is there in the early morning before the day begins. It is shared across kitchen tables, on front porches, during long conversations, and in the few peaceful minutes we sometimes get to ourselves.
Every blend is crafted with care and purpose, with the hope that each cup brings a little comfort, connection, and joy. Because what you put in your cup matters — not just the coffee, but the pause it creates and the meaning it carries.
August 29th will always carry deep meaning for our family. Now, it is also the name on every bag we seal and every cup we pour.
“Live Boldly. Savor Slowly. Celebrate the Beauty of Every Day.”
