We source our coffee directly from origin and are dedicated to the art of hand-roasted coffee using our vintage Probat machines. Our philosophy ensures that we roast each coffee to unlock its full flavor potential, offering an enjoyable experience from the first sip to the last drop.
The experience of consuming a cup of coffee should be a delight from start to finish, from hot to cold – we have honed our roasting style over the years with that thought in mind. We roast our everyday coffees in a way that reveals the unique flavors of each origin while maintaining balance and sweetness.
Starting in 1993 (originally as Alterra Coffee), we began sourcing coffee from origin. Through developing long-term farmer and co-op partnerships, we can be involved in every step of creating a great coffee experience. By nature, sourcing and roasting delicious coffee can seem like a moving target, and over the last 20 years we have embraced a culture of continual improvement to bolster our efforts. We now offer a wide range of wonderful coffees. From our “Featured Farm Series” of extremely limited, special lots; to our carefully managed Single Origin and legacy blends, there is something for every palate. And if we’ve learned one thing along the way, it’s that there is always more work to be done.
We are committed to developing long-lasting relationships and partnerships with coffee farmers across the globe.
We actively try to minimize our environmental impact on the world. Not everything we do is on a grand scale, but the old saying is true, "Every little bit helps."
