Ceremony Coffee Roasters

Ceremony Coffee Roasters is an American specialty coffee company that roasts coffee, operates cafés, and supplies wholesale coffee programs. According to its own history, the company was established in 2002 and grew out of a passion for sharing high-quality coffee. Its stated philosophy is to source super-fresh, clean coffees scoring 85+ points, with sweetness and character, and to develop roast profiles and blend ratios that highlight each coffee. The company describes its relationships with producers, importing partners, baristas, and even logistics staff as the soul of its work. Ceremony sells whole-bean and ground coffees, single-origin and blended offerings, and specialty instant coffee. Its online store features seasonal coffees from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, and Mexico, with prices listed for individual bags. The company also offers a Subscribe & Save program with a 10% discount, order-ahead pickup at local Ceremony locations, and a wholesale program for coffee programs across the United States.
