Roaster’s Notes

This is The Core of our coffee lineup. When brewed as an espresso you will encounter a thick creamy chocolate caramel with crisp fresh coffee cherry sweetness. Most other brewing methods will give you a sugary sweet Ethiopian dominated punch.

Jacob, IL
Nowhere else offers such a variety of coffees and the experience of knowing where coffee is from, how to brew it, and how roasters roast their coffee! Trade is 10/10 easy!
Amber, UT
I love the backstory of the roasting companies and that I can rate each bag. Pretty much changed how I wake up each morning!
Chris, GA
I love supporting small businesses who really love what they do. Trade has consistently delivered an amazing coffee, just for me.
Rajendra, NY
I love that I don’t have to worry about waking up one morning and realize I’m out of coffee. I also love the different variety of tastes I get to explore and the freshness.
Dylan, WI
By connecting me with high-quality roasters across the country, I get to try coffees I otherwise never would have been able to access. Oh, and everything I’ve received so far has been delicious.

Subscription services rarely live up to their hype. Trade is the exception. It’s a true luxury to drink coffee roasted two days ago and I highly recommend it to any daily coffee drinker.
