Sourcing and Roasting With Purpose
Heart Coffee Roasters sources from renowned farms in Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, and Central America, working only with producers who align with their values of sustainability and traceability. Their roasting style is intentionally light, designed to preserve delicate florals, citrus acidity, and complex sweetness. For those new to light roasts, Heart offers a gateway into a more refined, terroir-driven coffee experience. Their beans are ideal for filter methods like pour-over, Chemex, and batch brew—but also make for expressive, silky espressos.
