There's nothing more exciting than introducing people to authentic, delicious coffee that is produced with care by talented farmers dedicated to fair, democratic principles, sustainable agriculture, and the cultivation of the highest quality coffees imaginable. For more than a decade, we have spent an unprecedented amount of time working side by side with our partners at origin to source the greatest coffees in the world, directly from the farmers themselves, celebrating the individuals, farms, and cultures behind each harvest. Coffee is a seasonal fruit, and like any responsible purveyor of fresh produce, we only sell coffee at the peak of flavor and freshness; and we roast skillfully, in small batches, to bring out each coffee's singular characteristics and "taste of place."

We also have a mission to create cutting-edge coffee people, and through our regional training centers and industry-leading coffee education, this mission extends beyond our employees to our customers, friends, and ultimately to the general public. We've found that the more informed you are about coffee, the better we are forced to perform. So, browse around, join our 'insider' newsletter, and by all means let us know what you think!

Now Available: New Crop Cafe San Ramon!

8-28-08

Cafe San Ramon is cultivated, harvested, sorted, pulped, fermented, and washed entirely on the farm where it was grown by the farmer and his family.We recently received a new harvest lot from our longtime partners in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Certified organic and shade-grown, this year's Cafe San Ramon comes to us from the farms of Oscar Ruiz, Leopoldo Duarte, Javier Martinez, Felix Davila, Bernabe Caño, and Francisco Rivera Castillo.
We're proud to present their coffee to you—it's full of the characteristic mild flavors of Nicaragua’s best coffees: gentle flavors of chocolate, honey, and just a hint of stone fruit make this the perfect breakfast coffee.

Click here for more information or to purchase Cafe San Ramon.

Thanks,
Nathan
