About

Our Specialty Coffee – The Garden Coffee Essence

Garden Coffee is proud to offer premium, single origin, high-altitude coffee beans. We fresh roast your specialty coffee to order in Lakewood, Colorado. We roast in small batches and even custom roast to order so you always receive the freshest possible product from Garden Coffee.

Direct Trade

We buy direct from the farmer wherever possible. Our beans are sourced from small family farms where sustainability for the family’s future is far more important than instant profits. This philosophy results in a naturally organic, shade-grown product that is truly worthy of Fair-Trade compensation. We are proud to pay our farmers substantially more than the commodity market will ever offer. We have established a relationship with a processor/exporter that make this direct trade arrangement possible and economical for the farmers and you the consumer here in the USA.

While Garden Coffee will always offer great coffees from all over the world, Honduran coffee is our specialty.

Coffee done right

Our flagship specialty coffees including Finca Los Pinos, Finca Valentina, Finca Buena Vista, Finca Las Lichas and others have achieved certification stamps of international quality such as USDA Organic, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance and UTZ.  These farmers only cut enough trees from the high mountain rainforest to allow for filtered sunlight which nurtures their Arabica coffee bushes. Most of the natural forest is left intact, creating a bio-diverse ecosystem which is naturally resistant to pests and disease.

Each season we will feature beans from other small farms in Honduras as we are introduced to new farmers in our network. We support hard working families that take pride in producing premium specialty coffee. They understand the value of family support and respect for the earth.

Our Mission

John and Delmy Mattos started Garden Coffee in 2015. Delmy, a native Honduran who immigrated to the USA in 2000 had aspired to be involved in the coffee business. Her desire to help the small family farmers of her native country is the foundation of Garden Coffee.

Our mission statement: Garden Coffee strives to provide a better coffee product to the American consumers at a fair price while helping our coffee-growing partners reach a sustainable and gainful future.
