From The Ground Up
Our Story
A grill and a cast iron pan in 2018, a shop on Main Street in Belmond by 2020, and every bag still packed by hand.
2018
It Started With a Cast Iron Pan
A grill, a cast iron pan, and a wooden spoon. No real equipment, no plan. Just a love for what great coffee could taste like.
Next
Our First Expansion
From a grill to a garage, we upgraded to a 1kg drum roaster and started hitting every farmers market we could find.
Markets
Built Through Experience
Every roast, every market, every cup refined how we source, roast, and think about coffee. Nothing was overnight.
2020
Rooted in Community
Belmond said yes to us before we were ready. A shared kitchen and a community that showed up made The Golden Hopper real.
Honduras
Coffee With Meaning
We traveled to Honduras to exchange knowledge with the farmers, and we support them by paying above premium price. It is a relationship.
Sourcing
Sourced With Intention
From the highlands of Ethiopia to the mountains of Honduras, every bean is chosen for its flavor, its farmers, and its craft.
Roasting
Roasted With Purpose
Every batch is roasted personally, dialed in for that bean and that origin. No single setting for everything. Every bean is special.
Today
Sealed Fresh
Every bag is packaged by hand right here in Belmond and sealed fresh. That is the difference between quality coffee and mass produced.
