Vintage Bean Coffee
Introducing Vintage Bean, our exclusive coffee brand sourced from carefully selected farmers with whom we have strong relationships. We are intimately involved in every step of the process, from bean selection to roasting. Unlike commercial ground coffee, which has been found to contain unwanted elements like cockroach parts, our coffees are roasted just the day before they are shipped to you.
Choose from our four distinct coffee options: Ethiopian Light, Colombian Medium, Brazilian Dark, and Colombian Decaf. The lighter the roast, the higher the caffeine content, making our Ethiopian Light the perfect choice for a morning pick-me-up.
Our proprietary coffee is available through a convenient subscription service for both individuals and groups. Individuals can opt to receive their coffee monthly, every other month, or every third month to save on shipping costs. Groups have the option to purchase at wholesale prices, making it an ideal choice for churches looking to offer a superior product with the added benefit of custom branding on the cups as an option.
Fill out our contact form to explore how Vintage Bean can cater to the needs of your coffee-loving community. By making the switch to our quality coffee, you not only enjoy a great cup of joe but also contribute to funding important missions work. Join us in making a difference with every sip – it’s Coffee for a Cause!
African Black Soap
Our unique black “soap” is a one-of-a-kind product that cannot be found anywhere else in the United States. Sourced from the local medicine woman in the village near our training center, this soap is handcrafted using over a dozen medicinal herbs gathered from the surrounding rain forests. The key ingredient, fresh kernel red palm oil, is rich in antioxidants and believed to offer significant benefits for the skin.
The medicine woman claims that this soap has the potential to greatly improve various skin conditions, though this is based on her personal testimony and not a guarantee. Unlike traditional soap bars, this product is not meant for bathing and does not have a pleasant scent. Its purpose is solely focused on its effectiveness.
To use the soap, simply wet the skin in the problematic area and rub the bar until it turns white. Allow it to dry on the skin, letting its natural properties work their magic. While we cannot make claims of healing, many have reported significant improvements in their skin conditions after using this bar. It may be worth a try for those seeking a natural approach to skincare.
Neem Tooth Powder
Neem is a natural powerhouse when it comes to oral health, serving as an effective antibacterial agent that targets the bacteria responsible for plaque buildup, gum disease, and bad breath. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe gum irritation, reduce swelling, and benefit conditions like gingivitis and periodontitis. Additionally, neem’s antioxidant content offers protection for gums and teeth against oxidative damage, promoting overall oral health.
Here are some key points to consider about neem for oral health:
- Antibacterial action: Neem contains compounds that can hinder the growth of bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, a major contributor to tooth decay.
- Anti-inflammatory effects: Neem’s anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate gum inflammation and bleeding.
- Plaque reduction: Incorporating neem-based toothpaste or mouthwash into your oral care routine may significantly reduce plaque buildup on teeth.
- Potential for gum disease management: Studies indicate that neem could be beneficial in managing gum disease.
At our facility, we handpick and carefully dry fresh neem leaves from our own trees. These leaves are then crushed into a powder and combined with clay for mineralizing teeth, as well as non-aluminum baking soda for added cleaning power. To enhance the formula, we include essential oils of peppermint, wintergreen, and spearmint, known not only for their breath-freshening properties but also for their oral health benefits. Each tin contains one 2-oz portion of this special blend.

Washable Feminine Pads Sewing Pattern
During her time in Kenya, Wendy discovered a distressing issue where girls couldn’t afford menstrual supplies. Boys would lend them money for purchases, only to later demand repayment in an alarming manner, leading to young girls getting pregnant at just 9 years old.
Motivated by this injustice, Wendy designed a straightforward sewing pattern for washable reusable pads. She distributed this pattern to high schools in Kenya, where it is now being used to educate girls on creating their own supplies.
Please indicate in the note section when making a donation if you would like to receive a copy of this pattern. Thank you!
