OUR STORY

At Thistle and Gold, coffee is more than a beverage—it’s a story, a craft, and a way to connect with the world. Our journey began in 2020, when our founder Jill Ghobrial, armed with a small home roasting machine and a passion for great coffee, started experimenting with beans in her kitchen. What started as a hobby quickly became a mission: to create beautifully balanced, ethically sourced coffee while making the coffee industry more inclusive.

Crafted with Intention

We take a meticulous approach to roasting. Each coffee bean is roasted individually to bring out its unique character before blending—like a carefully curated recipe. This ensures that every cup delivers the perfect harmony of flavor, aroma, and depth.

Coffee with a Purpose

Our passion for coffee goes beyond the cup. We are dedicated to supporting bird conservation in coffee-growing regions by donating a portion of our profits to nonprofit organizations protecting endangered and threatened bird species. By choosing Thistle and Gold, you're not only savoring exceptional coffee but also helping to preserve vital ecosystems.

A Space for Women in Coffee

The coffee industry has long been a male-dominated space, but we believe that everyone should feel welcome in the coffee community. As a woman-founded and led company, we strive to make specialty coffee more accessible to women—whether as roasters, baristas, or coffee lovers exploring their passion.

Inspired by Nature, Made for You

Our brand is a reflection of the world we love: feminine, wild, and deeply connected to nature. Whether you’re brewing at home, enjoying a slow morning, or sharing a cup with friends, Thistle and Gold is here to bring you coffee that feels both intentional and effortless.

Join us in celebrating the art of coffee, the beauty of birds, and the power of women—one cup at a time.
