We’re making our debut this week at the market. We are a small batch, artisan, coffee roaster and are passionate about exceptional coffee. We’ll be selling 3 different coffees this month.

Our personal favorite is our Ethiopian coffee which is roasted to a medium-light profile to highlight the naturally sweet blueberry-like flavors of the coffee. The special of the month is our Costa Rica thermic process coffee. This coffee is unique in how the coffee cherries are processed and it gives the coffee an incredible sweet and almost chocolate covered strawberry taste! We will be providing samples and are so looking forward to this coffee journey with you!
