Every lot we buy is traceable to a farm, a washing station and a harvest window. We pay above-market prices for cup quality — and we publish who grew what, right on the bag.
Our story
Meridian started in a garage with a drum roaster, a spreadsheet of farms, and a rule we still keep: never ship a coffee we wouldn't brew for ourselves the same morning. Today we roast for a few thousand households — one small batch at a time.
What we believe
Every lot we buy is traceable to a farm, a washing station and a harvest window. We pay above-market prices for cup quality — and we publish who grew what, right on the bag.
Nothing sits on a shelf. Orders are batched each morning, roasted that day on our 12-kilo Probat, rested overnight and shipped within 24 hours of the roast.
Coffee is a crop, not a SKU. When a lot fades past its peak we retire it — which is why the catalog changes with the harvests instead of staying frozen year-round.
How we roast
Every coffee gets its own profile. Bright washed lots are kept short and light so the florals survive; naturals and blends get a longer development for body and sweetness. We cup every batch against a control the next morning — anything that drifts gets re-profiled, and anything that fails gets composted, not shipped.
Curious what that tastes like? Start with the single-origins if you brew filter, or the signature blends if you pull shots — and if you're new to hand-brewing, the brew guides will get you to a sweet cup on the first try.
