Every order is roast-to-order and ships within 24 hours of the roast in nitrogen-flushed one-way valve bags.
Known for
- Roast-to-order, ships within 24 hours
- 56+ single-origin coffees in active rotation
- 179 custom blended varieties
- Low-acid coffee specialization
- Chemical-free natural-method decaf
Why it matters
Few US specialty roasters operate at this catalog breadth — 179 blended varieties alongside 56+ single origins is unusual, and the explicit 24-hour-from-roast shipping window is a freshness commitment most micro-roasters don't quantify publicly. The low-acid specialization fills a niche underserved by light-roast third-wave operations.
