  • Roasted only after you order—never in advance

Why It Matters

  • Slows aging, locks in peak flavor
  • Prevents bitter, stale taste
  • Preserves nuanced, complex flavors
  • Unmatched freshness—rare in the U.S.

What is Equal Roots?

Rooted in Tradition

Beans are sourced from our organic, regenerative family farm in Honduras—or through direct trade with trusted small family farms around the world.

We source exclusively single origin beans from natural, traditional farms—not just to deliver the highest quality possible, but to tell the farmer’s story and give them direct credit for their hard work.

It’s about honoring centuries of craftsmanship and preserving time-tested methods of cultivation and harvest.

Rooted in Equity

Sourcing from small family farms, uplifting women-led cooperatives, and paying fair wages to everyone across our value chain.

Investing in the farming regions and communities that make our coffee possible. Supporting local education, social wellness programs, and meaningful community investment—because opportunity should never depend on where you’re born.

You have plenty of places to get your daily cup. Why not choose the one that believes in equity so deeply, it’s written into the name?

Rooted in Quality

We partner with farms that honor the land, using traditional cultivation and regenerative methods to protect the environment.

Our commitment to quality means every step—from growing to harvesting to roasting—is done with care, transparency, and integrity.

We source only single origin coffee—for the highest level of transparency and quality. We work exclusively with small family farms we know and trust, never with large commercial growers. By keeping our partnerships intentionally limited to a select few farms, we can control quality at every step, from seed to sip.

Where to find us

We roast commercially in Columbus, Ohio, and ship nationwide. We also attend local vendor markets from time to time around Columbus and the surrounding cities.
