Since 1993, when we began roasting in an old barn in Occidental, California, we have been committed to providing our customers with the best, most sustainable coffees we could find. At the time, the number of organic coffee farms around the world was limited. Over the years, we partnered with more and more farmers as they worked toward certification, and our offerings have expanded ever since. While we no longer roast on that serene 100-acre farm on Taylor Lane, we stay true to our roots as coffee industry pioneers, and pay homage to our home as we embrace our new name, Taylor Lane Organic Coffee.
