Our Coffee
Handcrafted Flavor
At The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, the art of crafting the best tasting coffee requires respecting each individual roast. Knowing the specific origin and roast degree for each coffee allows for intense flavor that can be traced back to its earliest beginnings.
Ingredients for Perfection
By varying origin characteristics and the roast degree of each coffee, we carefully craft the flavor categories you know and enjoy every day. From Light and Subtle to Dark and Distinctive, we roast perfectly from seed to cup.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has been innovating – and
growing – since 1963. "Find your Flavor" isn't just words;
it's a commitment to our customers and the foundation
upon which we operate.
The Source Matters
We believe that buying from the best estates and small farms leads to the very best coffee. In our search for the finest coffees in the world, we use only the top 1% of the Arabica Beans found at altitudes up to 6,000 feet, which results in a more concentrated flavor.
Our People Believe
Many coffee companies claim to search the world for the finest coffees, yet very few do. At The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf I personally go to the source of our coffee and guarantee that it is the highest quality obtainable on earth.
The partners who prepare our coffee at every level are extremely passionate people and committed to providing "Simply the Best" coffee to our customers. Quality coffee has always been my No. 1 priority, and it will never be compromised.
We Know Where Every Bean Comes From
Our high standards make our coffee uniquely and uniformly delicious no matter which location you visit, anywhere in the world. Our Master Roaster has employed state-of-the-art techniques and expert instincts to preserve the beloved ritual of coffee drinking.
From the ship to shore, to the lab where our great taste is born, small batches of our fresh green coffee beans are roasted to perfection and analyzed for fragrance, aroma, flavor, acidity, body and finish. Only when quality is at its peak and our rigorous standards are met is it ready to be shared with you.
Seeking Quality Wherever It Grows
At The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, we travel to small farms and private estates in East Africa, Latin America and the Pacific in search of the very best coffee the world has to offer. We buy only the finest beans where they live, from the most prestigious growers on earth.
We take into account geography, climate and agriculture,
while never forgetting time-honored tradition.
The result is a perfect cup of coffee, every time.
Our Tea
Amazing tea starts with carefully nurtured relationships around the world.
Tea is the most widely consumed prepared beverage on Earth. And The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is here to bring you the perfect version of the world's favorite drink.
The liquid gold in your cup began its journey thousands of miles away, on the lush tea plantations of Sri Lanka, Kenya, China, Japan, Thailand and India. We work directly with tea growers in these regions in handcrafting varieties of tea that meet our exacting specifications. Because of our standards for quality, taste and heritage, you're sure to enjoy the very best whole-leaf teas and tea drinks available anywhere.
On the road to tea perfection, we insist on staying connected to the harvest by purchasing directly from the growers - without middlemen, wholesalers, or importer-exporters. It's not only the right thing to do, it allows us to source and deliver the world's finest, most distinctive teas. By staying connected to the people for whom tea is a livelihood, we go beyond fair wages by giving back to the plantations, estates and communities that grow our delicious tea by supporting local education and health-care programs. Cultivating these close ties benefits everyone; from the local growers to our global customers who get to taste the benefits of our partnerships.
