It all started when…

Hi, friends! Lawrence here. Just wanted to tell my story and how I got into specialty coffee roasting. Hope you all enjoy!

My love for specialty coffee began in 2014 while I was in the US Army and deployed down in Honduras. Some incredible coffee comes out of the Western region of Honduras on the border with Guatemala and El Salvador. I spent quite some time in a region called Copan, Honduras. I toured several coffee farms and got to experience some incredible farm to cup coffees. I have never forgotten this experience I had in Copan.

I got out of the military in 2015 and moved back to Atlanta, Ga. soon thereafter. I would frequent a few specialty coffee shops throughout the city and realized that Atlanta has such an incredible coffee scene. There was a core group of coffee roasters that had such a loyal following and I began to love some of these roasters and their connections to fair trade in the coffee world. I wanted to get into the coffee roasting industry after seeing the love these roasters had for the industry. In July of 2020 I decided I wanted to get into roasting and actually establish a business. We acquired the space here in Decatur, Ga. in September of 2020 and started roasting our own origins and blends in October, 2020.

We’ve enjoyed the journey so far and we are looking forward to the future! Love yas!
