Artisanship

Hands-On Approach To Roasting

Roast Master

It is important to us that the value of our artisan skill, craftmanship, and quality of taste be present in every cup of coffee we produce. Our President and Roast Master Kristy Virtue ensures that we accomplish this task and makes it appear effortless.

With over 30 years of experience in the coffee industry, and 20 years of experience as a specialty coffee roaster she skillfully ensures that we deliver the perfectly and consistently roasted, finest tasting coffee. She personally inspects and samples every batch of Arabica beans that arrives and that is roasted at our facility. Her hands-on approach and meticulous attention to detail spans across our entire roasting and packaging process.

Her expertise and love of all things coffee, is only surpassed by her respect for the environment and wellbeing of people.
