how it started
from nescafe after school to roasting specialty coffee
coffee has been part of sherry's life since she was ten — nescafe with condensed milk after school, coconut crackers for dipping. simple, reliable, comforting.
during the pandemic she went down the specialty coffee rabbit hole and found a lot of jargon, a lot of claims, and bag after disappointing bag. so she learned to roast — and built the brand she'd been looking for: fair wages all the way to the farmer, and the fruity, floral, interesting notes she couldn't find anywhere else.
“coffee society exists to help people rediscover coffee — complex in flavor, rooted in story, and genuinely worth sharing.”
the craft
how we roast
we sample roast a lot before anything makes the lineup — looking for brightness, florals, and fruit that hold up across brew methods. roasting is done out of berkeley, ca, never dark enough to mask the bean's character or leave it oily.
if we wouldn't brew it ourselves, it doesn't make the cut. every lot is q graded 85+ before we commit, and we roast in batches small enough to taste every one.
what we stand for
- ethical sourcing — every coffee comes from trusted specialty producers who are fairly compensated.
- roasted to order — every bag ships within 24 hours of roasting. no pre-roasted stock, no warehouse.
- single-origin only — one farm per bag, so every cup has a specific story.
- community first — coffee for enthusiasts, home brewers, and the simply curious alike.
