Lexington Coffee Roasters

We buy our coffee beans fresh from the farm. Each day, we scrutinize the world's new coffee harvests, searching for the clearest, sweetest, most distinctive flavors. Beans from even the finest farms are vulnerable to a host of threats, from weather to pests to processing and storage taints, so we never commit to any crop until it's first bowled us over in a blind taste test. We sell our coffee beans fresh from the roaster. All coffee begins to stale within only hours of roasting. There’s no stopping it. Wait longer than two weeks to brew it, and your specialty coffee won’t taste so special anymore. At Lexington Coffee Roasters, we’re maniacal about freshness. We roast only to order, date each bag, and ship the same day. Our skilled artisan roasters have decades of the experience needed to carefully coax each small batch of coffee beans into elegant, complex, balanced flavors. The unfortunate current trend of many other micro-roasters to rely on computerized roasting machines with no sense of sight and smell is no match. Few roasters in the country have earned as many 90+ scores from Coffee Review, the world's leading coffee guide. None have placed more coffees in the finals of the annual Roasters' Guild of America Roasters' Choice competition. No single program can solve the plight of the world's 26 million coffee farmers, many of whom live in dire poverty without decent housing, clean water, adequate food, or access to education and health care. That's why we support a range of integrated efforts, including Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance certifications, direct trade initiatives, pricing that rewards farmers for quality, and nonprofit agencies working to improve the quality of life in coffee growing communities. Great service must not be simple either, because it certainly seems to be rare. At Lexington Coffee Roasters, we're as proud of our service as we are our coffee, and people seem to love it just as much. We hope you will too.
