The Latest News
Winter 2024 Update
Coffee prices hit a record high in November, thanks in part to the drought/flood cycle that Brazil and Vietnam suffered. These are the two largest coffee growing countries in the world and when they sneeze, the coffee world catches a collective cold. We are waiting to see how this will affect availability of our green coffee but much of the green coffee we were buying from the smaller farms is being aggregated into larger anounts to be sold to the big corporate coffee roasters who have to make up for lost volumes from Brazil and Vietnam.
Our website has everything currently in stock, although some in very limited quantities. We roast to order at least once per week and ship the next day. The USPS does an outstanding job of delivering in a timely manner, local mail is next day, most of the country within 3 days.
We are still roasting for local (porch) pickup, fast, flat-fee mail, or Saturday morning Post Office Meetup (on Gilman).

Featured - Peru – Lot 42 San Francisco
December 2024
From the Yanesha Native Community of Tsachopen in Pasco, Perú, Daniel Lale’s San Francisco farm exemplifies ecological harmony.
This Grade 1 honey-processed Arabica, grown at 1800 MASL, reveals both the farmer’s dedication and the region’s remarkable terroir.
Tasting Notes: Blonde raisins and orange lead into layers of vanilla, toffee, and a maple-honey sweetness. Honeyed acidity and a smooth body complete a distinctive and memorable cup.
