Tanner’s House Blend Organic Medium Roast Coffee

Tanner’s House Blend is a smooth, balanced medium roast and one of our best-selling coffees, with notes of nougat, roasted walnuts, black tea, caramel and raw sugar. It’s approachable, versatile and easy to love from the first sip.

It’s named for Tanner, our founder Mark’s young neighbor. At three years old, Tanner was diagnosed with the same cancer that took Mark’s sight. The two learned to navigate the world together, and Tanner faced it with courage and curiosity. He passed in the early 2000s, and his blend carries his name in every bag.

Story Behind the Roast
A Roast with Real Meaning

Tanner was just three years old when he was diagnosed with the same cancer that once took our founder Mark’s sight. Despite losing his own vision, Tanner met the world with courage and curiosity. As Mark’s neighbor, the two bonded and learned to navigate the world together.

Tanner passed in the early 2000s, but his legacy lives on in every bag of this blend. Tanner’s House Blend is more than coffee. It’s a tribute, and a daily reminder of resilience.
