Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Lyons.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Rachel Lyons grew up in a household among coffee indulgers. Having been introduced to mild strength brews as a child, she quickly learned what her likes/dislikes were. Her unquenchable search for some of America’s best coffee led her to an eight-year career as an adult, working for the Starbucks Corporation in various positions.
While working for one of the biggest food chains in the world, Rachel was enrolled in nursing college, where she was soon at a crossroad. Dealing with the challenges of self-actualization in the medical field, she finally decided to follow her heart. At the age of 34, Rachel began a journey of selling the most authentic freshly brewed coffee, which came to be known as Lyons Brew!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road to entrepreneurship is 100% NOT a smooth road. Some of the most challenging moments are maintaining a positive attitude during those moments when you may go 2 or 3 weeks without a single online order. Or even the challenging battle convincing others that your brand matters.
As you know, we’re big fans of Lyons Brew Coffee. For our readers who might not be as familiar, what can you tell them about the brand?
We are Lyons Brew Voffee. A black-owned coffee company from Dallas, Texas. Every pour from any of our brews has the “resilience of a lyon in every cup.”
Coffee has been a childhood passion that has only grown for us. We are deeply dedicated to a good brew by boldly uniting craft and passion in our relentless pursuit of creating unparalleled coffees & experience. We are driven by our commitment to do good by cultivating & nourishing relationships from crop to cup that promote global & local change through a spirit of generosity, hospitality, and love.
We currently have seven coffee roasts, five flavored teas, a cold brew, and instant pods available to ship anywhere in the continental U.S.
We have shipped out almost 1,000 units since launching in 2020, and the growing popularity has led to our very own interview series titled “The Lyons Den with Rachel Lyons,” available wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
