According to Roast magazine, Tony's "earned top honors for its vibrant company culture, community involvement and commitment to ethical sourcing practices and social responsibility." Their roasting profile leans medium, delightfully toasty, with a wide catalogue of blends and a handful of single origins.
From the Roaster
The smell of freshly roasted coffee came to Bellingham in 1971. From the beginning, we roasted our coffee in small batches, selecting the best beans we could find from around the world. In the early years we roasted in our coffeehouse, a street level space in Fairhaven’s historic Terminal Building. We filled customer’s orders from glass jars with freshly roasted beans from Antigua, Guatemala to Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Our commitment to sourcing high quality, sustainable coffee has always guided our path. In 2002, we became one of the country’s first coffee roasters to source organic, fair trade, shade grown coffee from farmer-owned cooperatives. In 2004, we became members of the US Roasters Guild and, in 2012, we became a founding member of World Coffee Research, whose work help ensures the future of sustainable coffee production.
