About The Shrub

CoffeeShrub is simply a name we liked. We are a micro-seller of coffee serving small shops that roast. We know a small shop needs a variety of offerings to keep customers interested in fresh-roasted, quality coffee. We know that a shop needs a variety of sources too, since buying every offering in full bag amounts is not always ideal. And we know that access to remarkable coffees can be difficult.

We sell vacuum packages of green coffee in batches that equal roughly a bit less than 1/4 of a traditional jute bag, and also some offerings packaged in Grain-Pro bags at a 60lb volume. We either import all of our coffee in vacuum packs, or we transfer it to our own nitrogen flushed vac bags once it arrives (after it either shipped in traditional jute bags or, more often, in GrainPro-lined bags). You have the convenience of thorough, descriptive reviews as a starting point for your own tasting notes, and relevant information about the farms including images that you can use to promote the coffee.

CoffeeShrub is an outgrowth of Sweet Maria's Coffee. In our travels for SM, we have found dedicated coffee farmers with great quality coffee needing a reliable buyer for their lots, one who will pay sustainable prices over the long term. And we have found our access to great coffees is perhaps larger than our home roasting audience can absorb. We can actually bring down our costs in importing and transit for SM and Shrub by buying slightly more. In a nutshell, that's the impetus for forming the Shrub.

The coffee reviews are authored primarily by Thompson Owen, with input and additional comments by Christopher Schooley, Josh Housh, Josh Schwartz, Maria Troy and Derek Gedalecia.

Please look over our coffees and see if any of these offerings would compliment your current list.
