Number of Beans from Inception to Now Wow—after digging into our numbers, I was blown away. We may be small, but together we’ve been keeping so many of you caffeinated (and some happily decaffeinated)! We’ve roasted and shared 19,400 pounds of regular coffee. And here’s the kicker—1,600 pounds of decaf (7.8%) have also made their way into your cups. That’s an incredible percentage of sales, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting it 164471917864027974 . What an awesome reminder of how much support you’ve given us. Every pound is a story of connection—from our roastery in Randolph to your kitchens, mugs, and...

The years just keep stacking up, and with them, so many meaningful relationships. Some of our customers have been with us for 5 years now — it makes me smile to think we’ve been friends that long. Every new conversation still excites me, because it means I get to walk this journey of life with someone new. I’ve met aunts of farmer-driven coffee production companies in Burundi, people who have visited the same villages in Guatemala, and folks who share stories that remind me how small and beautifully connected this world really is. Coffee may have brought us together, but...

Ya’ll know that coffee is our outside inner Nerd. We can go on and on about liquid coffee, coffee countries, coffee farmers, coffee beans, coffee trees, coffee coffee coffee!!! But did you know?

She even worked in a Xerox Print Center, so she knows a lot about paper—and her art has to have straight lines. Tayler’s Inner Nerd is a particularly crafty artist. She loves experimenting with a wide range of projects. As a child, she was always trying out new recipes on her “brave”...

Buy Coffee = Drink Water That was the original slogan on our coffee bags. And it wasn’t just clever marketing — it was a mission. Back when Santa Martha Cafe was just taking shape, we partnered with several organizations to bring safe drinking water to the community where our coffee comes from. One of our first steps? Helping install a rainwater catchment system on the school so the kids could have clean water. Later, with the help of other passionate folks and our co-founder, Jonathan Dodd, we supported the installation of a full pipeline bringing fresh spring water to residents...

Back in May 2021, we discovered TekPak and made the switch to their omnidegradable bags—built to handle being opened and resealed more than once. Since then, we’ve stuck with them and appreciated the quality and sustainability they bring. Like any growing company, they’ve had their ups and downs and recently streamlined their selection of styles and sizes. Honestly, we think that’s a smart move. We’re excited to keep partnering with them, and you’ll start seeing some of our single-origin coffees in the new bags starting this week. Swing by and check out the fresh look! —Ken & RuthSanta Martha Café...
