About our roasting:

The heart of our operation is developing relationships with farmers all over the world and expertly roasting their coffees to the very peak of their sweetness. 

Our roaster Joe has worked with and for some of the best craft coffee roasters in the USA, most recently assisting a well known company win Roast Magazine's "Micro Roaster of the Year" in 2015.   

 

Community and Farmers:

Here at Farmers Union Coffee Roasters we believe that community and coffee go hand-in-hand.

We work closely with our farmers to ensure all the coffees we use are ethically sourced and that their communities are supported.

The same level of attention is used when it comes to our roasting and brewing processes.
