We brew our coffee with exceptionally fresh-roasted specialty-grade Arabica beans. Because our coffee is roasted in-house, we are able to brew from just hours to days after roasting. We roast and blend our own signature espresso, which is in the middle-Italian style (roasted dark enough to develop a full palette of coffee flavors, but not roasted so dark that much of the coffee flavors are roasted out in lieu of a carbony flavor). We follow a neo-traditional school of espresso beverage preparation, and offer several signature beverages, including a create-your-own blended drink we call the Libswig™.
There are four major grades of tea (based on leaf particle size) these are 1. Dust 2. Fannings 3. Broken 4. Whole leaf (aka. Pekoe); tea dust being the lowest grade and whole leaf the highest. We do not carry tea-bag grade tea (dust & fannings), instead, our tea is loose whole leaf and includes some of the highest quality tea attainable. Whole leaf tea needs to be steeped longer than tea bags and we will recommend a steep time for your particular tea. We offer a vast selection of teas, tisanes, herbs, and spices, including some of our own signature blends, all of which we are happy to guide you through.
