Backcountry Coffee Roasters

Coffee is the second- largest traded commodity in the world; second only to oil. There two species of plants commonly cultivated called Arabica and Robusta. All the green coffee we purchase and roast is 100 % certified organic/fair trade arabica coffee that has been hand-picked for it’s superior quality. We believe this is important from a social and environmental perspective as well as a quality aspect. Buying organic coffee results in healthier farming communities, a healthier environment and better tasting coffee. Buying certified fair trade coffee results in higher wages and a higher standard of living for coffee farmers, as well as higher quality infrastructure and coffee processing techniques. It takes approximately 4,000 hand-picked cherries to yield one pound of coffee, a staggering statistic given the vast amount of coffee traded and consumed around the world. We carefully choose coffees from different regions of the world to offer a diverse range of delicious single-origin coffees and to create blends which are complex and flavorful.
