OUR STORY

We are a family that embraces both the action and the stillness that life brings, and coffee has played a subtle, but important, role in each of those peaks and valleys. So we wanted to create a brand of coffee that represents our Southern California lifestyle and experience, and thus Balans was born. Balans (Dutch for 'Balance' is a subtle nod to our Dutch family heritage) serves as a reminder that too much of anything is not good for you, so embrace the highs and the lows that come your way.

Whether it’s the first sip feeling of excitement on a Saturday morning, the kick we need to hit those extra reps, or the extra boost to finish out that long road trip, coffee has always been by our side to keep us balanced.

Early on, we would drink generic coffee that tasted JUST ok, but it gave us a boost, and so we tolerated it. As we became more educated about coffee, we learned that we can have energy benefits AND high quality taste. So we‘re stoked to provide a one stop shop for others like ourselves to not settle for generic, and drink high quality coffee as part of a balanced active lifestyle.
