Anniversary Roast

Our 30th Anniversary Roast bridges where we've been and where we're going. When we first opened in 1996, specialty coffee was just finding its footing in the United States. The industry looked nothing like it does today — no third wave, no single origins on every corner, no direct trade relationships built over decades. We grew alongside it — shaped by new technology, innovation, and evolving trends.

While embracing continuous improvement, we have remained locally-owned, community-rooted, and committed to the people behind each cup. Our employees, partners, and the farming families we've worked with for decades are the reasons we're still here. People like the team at La Hilda Estate in Costa Rica, who we’ve partnered with since 1998, and exceptional producers such as Tega & Tula in Ethiopia, and Popayan Reserve in Colombia. This coffee carries three decades of relationships and growth. 

In addition to our ongoing projects at origin supporting access to clean water and childcare, we’re looking closer to home. This year, we’re proud to be expanding our work with local nonprofit Growing Gardens, deepening our roots in Portland’s food security.  

Thank you to every partner, every employee, and every customer. We raise our mugs to the next 30 years together. This coffee is dedicated to you.
