How We Source Our Coffee

How We Source Our Coffee

Great coffee starts before the roast. We buy specialty-grade lots that taste like a real place, then roast to order so that work still shows up in your cup.

What we look for

Specialty coffee scores 80+ on the SCA scale. We also want character. Ethiopia should taste like Ethiopia. Sumatra should taste like Sumatra. Forgettable “fine” coffee does not make the cut.

You can taste that idea in Ethiopia Natural, Colombia, and House Blend.

Traceability and fair buying

We track region and process, and often the co-op or farm. That is how we check quality and how we tell you an honest story. We work with importers who pay above commodity and keep longer relationships with growers. We have not fixed the whole trade. We do choose on purpose.

Why we carry this lineup

Single origins stay distinct. Blends cover a job: House Blend for daily, Cowboy Blend for bold. If you want the map without a full bag each, start with the Best Sellers Sample Pack.

Green coffee is half. Roast-to-order is the other half. Your bag is roasted when you order and ships within days.
