  • A LITTLE REST GOES A LONG WAY

    As purveyors of lightly roasted coffee, our beans' peak performance is often 3 to 4 weeks after roasting.

    Let fresh roasts "rest" for optimal cups, or select resting coffees from prior roast dates to get you there sooner. And of course, if you can't wait, our coffee is still excellent as a fresh roast.

  • GET STRATEGIC

    Orders of green coffee, goods, and roasted coffees "resting" from prior roast dates will ship by the next business day, hooray!

    Any orders with coffees in an UPCOMING ROAST selected will queue for that roast date. You won't wait long — We roast weekly on Mondays.
