Sourced direct
We buy from a small list of farms and cooperatives we visit each year. Transparent pricing, real relationships, no middlemen.

Mild by design, brewed with intention.
Specialty coffee and loose-leaf tea, sourced direct and roasted gently. We make a small menu of cups that taste good every morning — not just on demo day.

Three principles. No fluff.
We don't make coffee for trophy cabinets. We make it for the people who drink three cups a day and want every one to taste good.
Roasted mild
We roast for clarity, not char. Our profiles favor sweetness and balance — coffee that's gentle, never aggressive.
Brewed with care
Every blend and tea is dialed in by our team for the way most people actually brew at home. No barista degree required.
Picks for the way you brew.
A short, deliberate menu. Rotated as origins come into season, never inflated to look bigger than it is.
Our story
Started in a garage. Still small on purpose.
In 2019 we started roasting on a Huky 500 in a Tacoma garage, sharing bags with neighbors who told us they wanted coffee that didn't punch them in the face. Six years later, we're still chasing that idea. We roast on a Loring S15, but the brief hasn't changed.
We work with eight farms across Honduras, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Yunnan. We pay above fair-trade. We post green pricing on every bag. And we still answer every customer email ourselves.
A small library of brew guides.
Each bag ships with a printed card for the brew method we think suits it best — but here's the broader playbook.
Pour-over
Clear flavor separation, full control. Our V60 ratio: 15g coffee, 250g water, 92°C, 3:00 brew.
French press
Heavy body, lazy mornings. 30g coffee to 500g water, four-minute steep, slow plunge.
Aeropress
Sturdy and forgiving — perfect at the office. Inverted method with a bypass at the end.
Cold brew
Coarse grind, 1:8 to water, 16 hours in the fridge. Cuts with milk like nothing else.
Steady, honest praise.
This is the first coffee I've drunk all week without thinking about coffee. It just tasted right.
I bought a bag on a whim at a farmer's market. Now I have a standing monthly order — and I sent some to my dad.
Their Yunnan black is ridiculous. I keep it on my desk and re-steep it three times before lunch.
