All About Coffee

As lifelong coffee lovers, we are perfectionists when it comes to every aspect of coffee.

We love experimenting with the slightest variations in the roasting process until the beans are just right. We love brewing the perfect cup and pulling the perfect espresso shot. We love cupping new varieties, finding the roast that suits each variety perfectly, and trying to make it even better.

In short, we love everything about roasting, brewing, and drinking coffee.

Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Co focuses  primarily on Certified Fair trade Certified Organic Coffees as well as a few other models of responsible sourcing, namely AgroEcology ( Community AgroEcology Network, aka C.A.N.) coffees, some direct trade coffees and few responsibly sourced conventional coffees wherein certain qualities or origins are not available otherwise.

At the risk of sounding obsessively fanatical, we believe that every time a quality cup of coffee is brewed, served, and enjoyed, the world is a slightly better place. Besides, for every person that is elevated from the status of a casual consumer to an informed connoisseur, there will be one more person spreading the gospel of our favorite subject... which, by the way, happens to be coffee...
