The first premium Vietnamese Coffee Company.
The only coffee company brewing Real Herbs & Spices – No sketchy “natural” syrups here. Real Vanilla. Real Cinnamon. A touch of Salt. Plus, 100% Vietnamese Coffee, that’s it.
We push the boundaries on what it means to be sustainably sourced and uplift the Vietnamese coffee industry. Our Vietnamese-Californian Founder Debbie Wei Mullin wanted to elevate everything about her favorite Vietnamese past time, from the way it’s grown to how it’s brewed and served in your home.
“A huge highlight was getting to go to Vietnam for the first time since the pandemic. We have had such ambitious plans for our coffee production and agricultural standards that had to be put on pause until this year. This summer, we were able to craft some really incredible investments for 2023 that we cannot wait to share with our customers.” – Debbie Wei Mullin, Founder, Copper Cow Coffee

Good Pharma is a modern wellness beverage company on a mission to bring delicious plant remedies to the world. Each of our 3 teas & 1 coffee provides a specific functional benefit to address contemporary health needs (such as immunity, focus + energy, calm and sleep). Our teas and coffee are clean, balanced, and effective- which keeps people coming back for another cup. Good Pharma’s Pour-Overs contain premium coffee or fine tea, blended with extractions of functional mushrooms and botanicals. Unlike many products on the market that use dried plants with little potency, we developed Rxtracts: thoughtful formulas of powerful plant concentrations that are formed into bioavailable granules. These dissolve into your cup during the pour-over process, resulting in a ritual that is just as effective as it is delicious.
“As I reflect on 2022, I am grateful that as we emerge from the pandemic, we as a community are stronger and more resilient than ever, with greater awareness of well-being and its immense power that it holds for us as individuals.” – Jill Portman, Co-Founder, Good Pharma
Loftie Clock: Loftie is a thoughtfully connected alarm clock designed to help people break up with their smartphone alarms and get more sleep. Each Loftie Clock comes with a dimmable display, nightlight, two-phase alarm, and custom content playable right on the device, including guided meditations, sound baths, breathwork exercises, sleep playlists, plus a variety of relaxing sounds. Equally important, though, is everything Loftie does not connect to: your email, apps, social media, and all the stress they bring along. In short, it’s everything you need (and nothing you don’t) for a dreamier bedroom atmosphere.
Loftie Lamp: The stylishly minimalist Loftie Lamp is designed to bring you healthier sleep and happier mornings. It also keeps away the dark. In addition to joyful sunrise alarms, restful sunset dimming, and intuitive reading and ambient settings, the wifi-enabled Loftie Lamp can even be paired with the Loftie Clock for light-guided breathwork, coordinated wind-downs, and multi-sensory wake-ups.
“From a personal standpoint? Meeting the love of my life. I flew to Paris to go on a second date with her. She is absolutely the best part of 2022.
“From a hotel standpoint…
“I spent another amazing Fourth of July at The White Elephant on Nantucket with my family. Watching the sunsets on the harbor from the balcony there never gets old.
“I finally got to stay at The Arnold House after having dinner there approximately 100 times during the pandemic. One of my friends from home got married there this summer, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The fields in the back were the perfect wedding spot, and the barn was a great venue for the reception afterward.” – Matthew Hassett, CEO & Founder, Loftie
