Roasting Beans
Services: Nano/Small Batch Coffee Roasting
“Located in Arizona. We use specialty-grade beans, roasted on the weekly basis based on orders. With every bean we roast we focus on quality and sustainability. We have made it our goal to purchase our coffee beans from suppliers where farmers are compensated above the traditional standards. My son has autism and type 1 diabetes. When he was younger he enjoyed stealing sips of my afternoon cold brew. When I figured out coffee had a calming affect on him and it didn't raise his blood sugar, we did our research and welcomed his new found love of coffee. This business is created as a place for my son to move forward in whatever he wants to become. We hope for growth and we envision in the future hiring people with all types of disabilities.” Online store.
