Mercer University
Z Beans Coffee, founded by 2018 Mercer graduate Shane Buerster, is a prime example of the business ventures that have grown out of the MIC. The company, a micro-lot importer of Ecuadorian coffee, now has storefronts on the Mercer campus as well as in downtown Macon, where it also has its own roasting operation. In addition to bringing in local dollars, Z Beans is helping create sustainable solutions for impoverished Ecuadorian coffee farmers through fair trade importation methods.
