(We Roast Tuesday Morning)

 

Fresh from our Roaster 

There are so many parallels between great wine and great coffee.  In 1982,  that became obvious when we were introduced to an amazing man. Carl Diedrich.  Carl and his wife Inga were fifth generation plantation owners (in Guatemala and Mexico) and they were green coffee importers (selecting high grown Arabica coffees from around the world).  But,  the most important element was that they designed and built coffee roasters. With every coffee roaster Carl built, that special group of professionals grew.  With our roaster we were to become one of less than fifty small independent roasters in the country at that time!  

 

It's amazing how the coffee industry has grown since then!   But, what has not changed is our original focus.  Unlike many Coffee Roasters, we have deliberately chosen to stay quietly small and selective in the amount of coffee we roast. 

 

We've never felt we could control quality and freshness if we got too big.  So, we roast just enough to sell in our store or to fill special orders. 

 

We're delighted to be serving our second generation of coffee customers (the children who have grown).   We invite you to stop by our store on roasting day and enjoy the seductive aromas of Upson Coffee.   

What makes the difference?

There are four factors that contribute to, and work together to create a great cup of coffee.

  • It starts with the bean.  High Quality Arabica Green Beans
  • The Roast.  Each coffee roasted to compliment the subtle and individual qualities of each bean.
  • Freshness.  Coffee is at it's best when it's fresh.  Everything is at it's peak of aroma and flavor
  • Brewing.  The last step to bringing out the best in your coffee. 

Arabica Naturally

Our coffees are so good, we never thought of adding flavorings.  Flavorings dominate the coffee, and camouflage the flaws of a poor quality bean.  The process of flavor coating will never allow for the pleasure of the individuality of our high quality coffees - naturally.
