☕ The Places License
Supporter Tier · 3-Year Digital License
For those who can carry more — and choose to support others.
Where responsibility becomes shared strength.
 
This license is for The Places — real, independent entities working with coffee in everyday practice — that have the capacity to support the wider system.
It may be a farm, a roastery, a café, a lab, a platform, a cooperative, an institution, or an individual working with coffee.
Physical or digital. Local or international.
What matters is not scale — but willingness.
 
The Supporter Tier is not about privilege.
It is about redistribution.
 
By choosing this tier, you help sustain The Better Coffee system, enable access for others through Solidarity, and strengthen shared tools, coordination, and care.
This is not sponsorship.
It is participation with responsibility.
