The Mercantile
The coffee comes first, always. Everything else here is built around it: goods for the morning pour, the walk to class, and the mission behind every bag.
Premium coffee, and the goods built for it. Every piece carries the same intention we bring to our beans.
The Lineup
Single origin Ethiopia, specialty grade, roasted in micro-batches at Quad Coffee Lab in South Bend. However you come in, every bag funds the same mission.
Light RoastSpecialty Light Roast
Bright and floral. Natural sweetness, citrus lift, delicate finish.
Scored 80 or higher on the SCA Q scale: the top 5 to 10 percent of beans worldwide.
Medium RoastSpecialty Medium Roast
Bold and balanced. A fuller body without losing the origin character.
Roasted in micro-batches at Quad Coffee Lab, South Bend, Indiana.
Two 8 oz BagsThe Sampler
Both roasts, in a smaller pour. One bag of each, without committing to a full bag of both.
The easiest way in: find the roast that is yours, then size up.
Two 10 oz BagsThe Taster Bundle
One bag of each: the bright Light Roast and the bolder Medium Roast, side by side.
One origin, two expressions: Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee.

Work with usThe Growing Cycle
Coffee isn't manufactured, it's grown, and it grows on a cycle that repeats every season on an Ethiopian hillside. Turn the wheel through the six stages of that year: drag it, tap a stage, or let it turn on its own.
The Coffee Year
One turn, one year
Every stage of this year ends in a bag that puts pens, notebooks, and uniforms in a student’s hands in Ethiopia.
See where it goesAnd then it begins again.
Drag to explore
Coffee flowers bloom in creamy white clusters, and last only two to three days before falling, leaving behind the cherries that become your coffee.
Coffee "beans" aren't beans at all, they're the seeds inside a coffee cherry, a real fruit that starts green and ripens to red.
Every coffee plant on Earth traces its roots back to Ethiopia, home to more coffee plant diversity than anywhere else in the world. Explore the Origins Map →
A coffee tree takes three to four years after planting before it produces its first harvestable cherries. Patience is part of the recipe.
Specialty grade coffee, like ours, scores 80 or higher on the SCA Q scale. Only the top 5 to 10 percent of beans grown worldwide qualify.
Legend says coffee was first discovered by Kaldi, an Ethiopian goat herder whose goats got a little too energetic after eating coffee cherries. Read the full legend →
