Hi. We’re a small coffee roasting and espresso catering company based just outside of Philadelphia, PA.
More about us.
featured single origin
Rwanda Karongi
Produced by WCE Kawa Yacu in Karongi District, Rwanda, this is a bright and beautiful coffee that reminds us of peach tea – perfect for a warm porch sipper, or chilled over ice.
-
Kind of reminds us of Wawa peach iced tea from the 90s… if it were coffee. Juicy notes of stone fruit, some citrusy lemon in there, and a light tea-like body. Try it over ice on your way to the shore.

Grown by Womens Coffee Extension, Kawa Yacu (“Kawa Yacu” translates to “Our Coffee”). They do amazing work – it’s a coffee cooperative in Rwanda that was founded by Aline Christine and Odette Uwamariya in 2017, and last we checked, has over 700 members.
They’re focused on creating a space for female specialty coffee producers to have a strong foothold in Rwanda coffee production, and they’re working towards Rainforest Certification, and to provide material support to their members with things like health insurance and childcare.

The Karongi district is in the Western Province of Rwanda and sits along Lake Kivu, where Nyamunini Island is known as a home to thousands of Flying Foxes. They’re considered a keystone species, playing a critical role in upholding and shaping their local environment. As both pollinators and pest control, they’re crucial in supporting the biodiversity that is required to grow coffee.
This is the coffee we roast.
Actually, it’s just a photograph of the coffee we roast.
More precisely, this is a series of pixels arranged in a way that approximates an image on the screen that you are viewing to give you the impression of a photograph of the coffee that we roast.
seasonal blend
Ostara Blend
This is our spring blend. Ostara is the goddess of spring. The word “easter” comes from the word “ostara.” The taste of this coffee makes us think of hollow chocolate easter bunnies, and also the color pink.
-
pink! …. softly tart and a little juicy, like an almost-ripe strawberry
milky chocolate, like a hollow easter bunny

a nuptial blend of Colombian & Guatemalan coffees <3

This is Swamp Pink. The scientific name for Swamp Pink is Helonias bullata. It grows in swamps from Staten Island to Georgia, but mostly it grows in New Jersey’s Pine Barrens. It blooms from March to May, but has been blooming less because of the changing environment.
If you’re hiking in the Pines and come across this rare beauty, well, you know the drill: take only pictures, leave only footprints.
If you would like to try our coffee, you can buy some here, right on this website. We’ll send it to you in the mail. I know you’re looking at pixels, but the coffee you get won’t be pixels – it will be real, roasted coffee beans, that you can pinch in your fingers.
Also, you can visit a cafe that sells our coffee. This is a good way to “try it before you buy it.” We send our coffee to several cafes, and we think they are great. We also send our coffee to some retail shops, who are also great.
Great places you can find our coffee.
These are some big bags of coffee that we send to the cafes that make it. There are also some small bags of coffee that we send to cafes, and also retail shops.
