It began with a pivotal phone call: Lennart, from This Side Up, reached out to Gloria about exporting Sakami Coffee but needed more volume. Gloria saw not just an opportunity, but a calling, and set out to find women who shared her vision—entrepreneurs ready to break barriers and rewrite the narrative. Hence in her search, a doctor, a marketer, a banker, a beauty expert, and a teacher—Dr. Rosebella, Susan, Jane, Gloria, and Maria—came together to form NORT

NORT has shattered boundaries, forging direct trade connections with roasters across the Netherlands and Europe. But beyond borders, they have found something even more powerful—markets that cherish not just the richness of their coffee, but the soul of the women behind it.
