Launched in 2006 by husband and wife duo Raphael and Sarah Perrier, Kawha has become an all-star in the world of coffee. The St. Pete-based company is now the largest independent coffee roaster in Florida, with 15 retail locations (and counting). In addition to a large online presence, area hotels, restaurants and 80 Publix grocers now offer Kawha products.
