COFFEE TALK

Where do your coffees come from?

Our beans are 100% Arabica and sourced from the best growing regions throughout the world. We small batch roast our coffee focusing on developing rich, savory, and full-bodied blends, ranging from light & bright to smoky & sweet. From blends to single origins, our goal is to provide every rescue-loving, coffee-sipping superhero with an opportunity to join our mission and the perfect excuse to slow down and spend 15 more minutes with your best friend each morning! We believe that great products are naturally produced and minimally altered before consumption. For this reason, we source organic or fully traceable green coffee before roasting in small batches to capture the unique qualities of each bean. We currently source green coffee from the following regions: Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Sumatra, and Indonesia. 


We believe that a product can only be great if it is great every step of the way. For this reason, we put an emphasis on developing a responsible supply chain, beginning with the farmers who produce our green coffee.

What is the shelf life of your coffee?

Generally, the shelf life of an unopened bag of coffee is about 12 months. We strive to keep our online inventory as fresh as possible. Our goal is to have no more than 2 weeks between our roaster to your door. If you have extra coffee on hand that you'd like to store, we recommend keeping the coffee in a cool dark place, but DO NOT freeze your coffee. This will have a negative impact on the future flavor and quality. 

Are the descriptions on your coffee bags added flavors?

No, the descriptions on the bags are just tasting notes, similar to a wine tasting note. We do not add any flavoring to our coffee beans with the exception of our flavored coffees which can be found in our Flavored Blends Collection here.

Do you have an espresso roast?

We do and we think it's pretty darn delicious! Two Tails Espresso Blend is our custom espresso blend, but you can making espresso with many of coffees. 


Our Single-Origin Colombian tends to be a favorite if you enjoy a crisp, bright, floral espresso shot.

If you prefer a classic, Italian style espresso, our Alpha Blend will be the perfect fit.
