Tandem Coffee Roasters

you can taste the deliberateness in every cup tandem puts out. this portland roaster has built something quietly essential on washington avenue, the kind of place where the coffee does the talking. their work with hawaiian estate beans, particularly from the kona belt, shows up in the cup as something almost buttery, warm stone and soft fruit underneath, nothing sharp or aggressive. tandem means two things moving together. here, that's the farmer and the roaster, and you feel that partnership in every sip.
