The Bean
We buy small lots from farms we've stood on. Every green bag arrives with a name, an altitude, and a story we can repeat.

Roasted the same week you drink it. No hiding behind darkness — we chase clarity, not char.
18 seconds of bloom. 2:20 total. A pour-over is a conversation between water, gravity, and the person holding the kettle.
Cast iron, warm oak, and a stubborn absence of Wi-Fi passwords. This is a room built for slowing down.
