Coffee pour over brewing in morning light
Single-Origin Craft Roastery — Est. 2018

From Seed to Your Cup

Every batch is hand-roasted in our Portland warehouse. We source directly from farmers we know by name — because exceptional coffee starts with exceptional relationships.

Roasted with intention,
brewed with soul

Verdant started in a converted warehouse in Portland's Industrial District, where three friends shared a singular obsession: revealing the extraordinary character hiding inside every coffee cherry. We didn't want to build another coffee brand — we wanted to honor the craft from farm to cup.

"Coffee is the most complex artisan product most people consume daily — and most never taste what it can truly be."

— Elena Marchetti, Co-founder & Head Roaster

Seven years later, we still roast in small batches of 25kg or less. Every lot is cupped three times before release. Our green buyer travels to origin three times yearly, tasting alongside the farmers who grow our beans. This is craft coffee, not commodity.

Bean to Cup Journey

Every sip starts with an origin

Cherry Selection

Our journey begins at 1,800m elevation in Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region, where farmers hand-pick only the ripest cherries during peak harvest season.

Wet Processing

Cherries are depulped and fermented for 36–48 hours, then washed and dried on raised African beds for 10–14 days to develop clarity.

Green Grading

Every lot is graded for density, moisture content, and defect count. Only beans scoring 85+ on the SCA scale earn the Verdant mark.

Small-Batch Roasting

Roasted in 25kg batches on our vintage Probat, each profile developed through 15+ test roasts to unlock the bean's full potential.

Our Process

The craft behind every cup

01

Green Selection

Our green buyer visits each farm during harvest, tasting cherries directly from the tree. We select only the top 3% of each harvest, evaluating moisture content, density, and cup quality before committing to a lot. Every bag of Verdant coffee can be traced back to the specific hillside where it grew.

Profile Roasting

We develop each roast profile through 15+ test roasts on our sample Probat, recording charge temperature, development time, and first-crack timing. The production roasts happen on our 1976 Probat UG-22 — a machine seasoned by decades of craft. Small batches ensure every bean reaches its potential.

Brew Geometry

We design a recommended brew recipe for each blend — water temperature, grind size, pour structure, and timing. Because the perfect extraction is different for a washed Ethiopian than a natural Brazilian, and the difference between good and extraordinary lives in those 30 seconds of pour.

Quality Assurance

Every roasted batch is cupped blind by our team of three Q-graders before it ships. We evaluate fragrance, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, body, balance, and uniformity on the SCA 100-point scale. If it doesn't meet our standard, it doesn't leave the roastery — period.

What People Say
"

Verdant changed how I think about coffee. Their Yirgacheffe is unlike anything I've tasted — complex, alive, and deeply personal. You can taste the intention in every sip. This isn't just a coffee company, it's a philosophy in a cup.
