Intersecting Stories
The Origin
As a specialty coffee roaster, we purchase our coffee from producers and importers that score greater than 80/100 points when cupped and scored by certified coffee graders known as Q Graders.
Our goal is to purchase specialty coffee as close to the grower & producer as possible without actually importing ourselves. This has led to some great relationships with growers who also import or smaller importers who bring coffee to the US on behalf of small holding producers. Relationship and trust are the keys here.
We are building and growing relationships that create trust between Lamppost Coffee Roasters and importers. We trust them to offer and sell us quality specialty coffee. They trust us to pay for our green coffee in a timely manner, keep our word when we put our name on future coffee and roast with great care to produce quality roasted coffee for our customers. This represents the entire coffee process from seed to cup well.
