Arabica Coffee Roasters offers a broad spectrum of products, including blended and decaffeinated, espresso, flavored and organic, and straight-origin coffees.

“Our principles—technology, quality, and service—underpin the delivery of ethically sourced specialty coffee. Quality coffee and professional and timely services are just a few of the reasons many of our clients remain lifelong friends,” says Dimitri Leles, VP of operations at Arabica Coffee Roasters.

Creating an exceptional coffee experience to clients begins with sustainably sourcing the best coffee beans from around the world, paired with rigorous quality control measures to ensure each coffee is appropriate for our blends. In many cases, the beans are fair trade and certified to be grown without chemicals, fulfilling the ethical demands of clients.

It sources premier beans via commercial procurement and direct trade under the leadership of the director of coffee, Kyle Wuethrich. The Arabica Coffee Roasters’ team maintains strong trade relationships with Peruvian farmers and visits the farms to ensure the quality of the beans. It also collaborates with growers in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Indonesia.

Once the coffee beans are shipped to its 30,000 sq. ft. facility, each type is roasted individually using its state-of-the-art roaster, capable of roasting nearly 300 lbs of coffee every 15 minutes. It also has a panel of skilled coffee cuppers that determine and maintain consistency in the quality and flavor profile of products. The coffee is then blended to produce the designated final product. The company packages the products using its line of automated machines into specialized valve bags to ensure the product is fresh. It also promises a swift 10-day turnaround time and has a five-team service department that operates seven days a week to keep client operations up and running.

What places Arabica Coffee Roasters a notch above is its distinctive coffee program. Through this offering, it assists clients’ staff with the training and knowledge required to deliver quality coffee. They work with customers to improve menu options, select the right items for sale, determine the type of equipment suited for serving a great cup of coffee, and provide the staff with in depth training on how to properly prepare each menu item.

Introducing specialty coffee in a diner or a food service has benefited clients as they use high-end equipment and impactful advertising and marketing techniques to inform consumers, attract them, and garner a higher price per cup thus generating more profit.

Along with the emphasis on quality and technology, Arabica Coffee Roasters’ focus on customer service is second to none. Its ultimate goal is to continue learning, evolving, and adapting to the changing needs of clients and the industry to build strong, mutually beneficial relationships with stakeholders and the community it serves.
