Our Story
Mission: Provide products good for the body, spaces that feed the soul,
and profits that give back to the Earth.
At Liquid Planet, we are passionate about all things beverage. In fact, we believe that life quite literally revolves around beverage. All of us humans consume many thousands of gallons of liquids, and just as with the foods we eat, what we drink can either be healthy, all-natural, and organic, or laden with high-fructose corn syrup, chemicals and pesticides. Liquid Planet is a global concept striving to change the way we think about liquids and their importance in our lives.
We are creating not only a new brand, but a new concept - "The Best of Beverage®" (from around the world), with a special focus on all-natural, organic and sustainable. While the Best of Beverage is the foundation, Liquid Planet is really about people. The long-term goal of Liquid Planet is to be the center of our social universe; for life revolves around beverage -- it is rare to spend time with friends and family without a beverage of some kind in hand.
Liquid Planet was founded on the following cornerstones:
1.) Life revolves around beverage.
2.) To bring the Best of Beverage® under one roof.
3.) To create a purposeful and trusted brand of beverage that will lead to a more healthy and quality lifestyle.
4.) To incorporate sustainable business practices throughout our company.
Liquid Planet was established as a "green" beverage company with a special focus on all-natural, organic and sustainability (click here to learn about our methods, sourcing, and practices).
The Liquid Planet Story:
Liquid Planet was founded by a university professor who set out to create the evolution of the coffeehouse and develop a new culture of beverage. During his student days, he owned and operated the "Java Bus", the first espresso and specialty coffee business on the University of Montana campus.
After the exponential growth of specialty coffee during the 1990's, a simple but powerful question was asked; what's next in the world of specialty beverage?
The answer; a new concept of beverage, building off "the evolution of the coffeehouse." Liquid Planet is a premium mix of coffeehouse, bakery, and beverage market dedicated to providing not only the Best of Beverage itself but also everything necessary to create, serve, and accessorize it. (click here to learn more about the Liquid Planet Store Experience). Considering the fact that every human being consumes well over 50,000 gallons of liquids during the average lifetime, it is no wonder there is such a demand for beverage variety and equally important - quality. The ultimate goal of Liquid Planet is to raise the culture of beverage to a wholesome new level.
It is no coincidence that the Earth and body are both 70% water.
At the center of Liquid Planet is the idea to bring the Best of Beverage from around the world into one place. There are very few things that people truly need in this world, but liquid is certainly one of them. Life literally revolves around liquids. From the very beginning, civilizations have placed themselves near oceans, lakes, and rivers. You can live for weeks or even a month without food, but for a mere few days without liquids. (click here to learn about Liquid Planet's role in getting clean water to those who need it most via our BlueGreen Project). People are beginning to realize that what they put in their bodies through liquids is equally important to, if not paramount to, what they put in their bodies via food. You can't eat healthy without drinking healthy.
You are what you eat AND you are what you drink.
We strive to be the place for beverages, beverage education, and
beverage related products.
By first developing the full beverage experience in our flagship store, and understanding beverage from the inside out, Liquid Planet has gone on to create the finest organic and all-natural coffees, teas, flavored syrups, cocoas, chai, smoothies and frappes in the world. (click here to view our Liquid Planet brand of products).
Life revolves around beverage socially as well. It seems that most great conversations, storytelling, and general social interactions occur while sipping a tasty beverage of some kind. We want Liquid Planet to be the kind of place that invites such occurrences.
Liquid Planet is also the place to find the best of beverage makers, brewers, and the finest accessories for beverage creation and service in your home or office. We've done the homework for you, we've searched the world over for the finest beverage products, and we've tested them under our mandate that we will not offer a product that we would not want in our own homes. While we are constantly updating and reviewing products, if you do not find a beverage product in our stores or on our site, there is most likely a good reason. We of course do not list the products we do not carry, but we are very purposeful in regard to the products we do carry. (click here to shop the best of beverage online).
If you have a suggested beverage product that you believe we should carry, please e-mail us. It's a big world out there, and perhaps we have missed it.
Liquid Planet aspires to raise the entire culture of drink, creating a social gathering ground, and connecting people to the rest of the world through education, technology and media, and of course, the Best of Beverage.
