Welcome!!!
Have a look around. Get ready to discover your new favorite coffee.
Trailhead Coffee Roasters has been roasting craft coffee in Portland, Oregon since 2009. Nearly everyone who finds us falls in love with our coffee and never looks back.
How do we know? People straight up tell us!
“My husband and I are obsessed, best coffee around! LOVE THIS option. Thanks!“ - Lindsay who has our big 5 pound bag subscription.
“Love your coffee. Thank you for your passion and consistency.“ - Athanasios who orders a la carte when they need more coffee.
Nobody reads this far but…
Our intention is right on the bag with 3 simple words:
ETHICAL x CRAFTED x DELICIOUS
ETHICAL
Every one of our choices answers the question, “Is this the most ethical option?” Whether it’s bike delivery, green coffee sourcing, packaging or supporting local charities … we choose the best option for people and planet.
CRAFTED
Each batch of Trailhead coffee is roasted with care in small batches by hand, following a precise and repeatable roast profile. We simply release the magic already stored in the bean.
DELICIOUS
Sourcing delicious coffees that meet our ethical and sustainability standards is just the beginning. Finding out each bean’s secret is at the core of what we do. We find what makes each coffee special and bring that out in how we roast. It’s essential that the coffee is delicious and we make sure that it is… every time.
My intention in this business is simply to help people, namely coffee farmers mostly women, through commerce. Not charity but by simply seeking out and buying coffee and paying the farmers enough for a good life. And to do this while providing really superb coffee for your (and my) essential morning ritual? I punted on the usual metrics of success to dig into this simple model of being and have never looked back. Not an easy road but it’s the road I’ve chosen.
