Thomas' single origin coffee is sourced and roasted to perfection. We offer 4 carefully chosen beans and offer them to you at a staggering low price! Great coffee doesn't have to be expensive, it just needs to be great!
Guatemala
This excellent offering from Guatemala is an organically grown Bird Friendly coffee certified by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center. The coffee is grown and distributed by Barillense de Agricultores Association (ASOBAGRI) guaranteeing only the finest socially, ecologically, and economically responsible coffees coming out of the region, and in the world.
We roast it medium which brings out the bright, citric acidity of lemon grass tea that gives way to the deeper fruity orange/apricot flavors, finishing with a great subtle floral peach blossom note. The complexity of this coffee is amazing!

Ethiopia
Coming to us from the Sidamo region in southern Ethiopia, one of the most well known growing regions in the country. Where conditions are perfect for producing some of the finest coffees in the world.
The coffee has a delicate soft body perfectly balanced with the lemony citric acidity. Main flavor notes are fresh tea leaves with apricot blossoms for a nice floral finish much like many of the Ethiopian coffees produced in the Yirgacheffe region.
- Region: Yirgacheffe – Sidamo – Ethiopia
- Altitude: 4,900 and 6,500 feet
Brazil
This estate grown coffee comes from the Minas Gerais region in southeastern Brazil. One of the largest states in the country and the main producer of coffee. The name itself is said to mean “General Mines” as the area is known for spectacular cavern systems and many working mineral mines.
The coffee itself is not your typical Brazil, the acidity comes through at first but then mellows into a low note nuttiness and finishes with the smooth milk chocolate tone.
Thomas roasts this coffee to “Full City” just touching on second crack to mute some of the acidity, this develops the sweetness and body for a great balance.
Costa Rica
This is the longest running single origin (From one specific coffee bean) that Thomas offers. Costa Rican coffee beans are considered among the best in the world.
La Magnolia starts with a recognizably sweet and floral aroma, and has clean acidity, medium body and intense yet delicate flavors of citrus, maple, and honeysuckle.
- Growing Altitude: 1200 to 1650 meters
- Processing Method: Washed
