Queen City Coffee – Bottle Rocket (12oz.)
About The Product: This (12oz.) bag of coffee reminds us of 90’s nostalgia and settling into a diner booth. We don’t dabble in dark roasts too often so when we decided to give it a go, we wanted to craft something that tasted like our grandpappy’s cup of joe, a nostalgic cup that reminds us of our favorite diner, while at the same time meeting the standards of our specialty coffee values. With Bottle Rocket, we’ve done just that. It’s our one and only dark roast that will bring you right back to the good ol’ days when coffee was coffee and cream + sugar was a given.
About The Company: We believe that honest relationships, from farmers to consumers, achieve an equitable and sustainable coffee supply chain. In many ways, Queen City started in the mid-2000s while we worked, researched, and played in rural Africa. From Zimbabwe to Rwanda, we spent nearly a decade coordinating humanitarian programs, organizing research projects, and kicking around on humble soccer fields with friends. We learned about community in Africa — real, honest community.
Life eventually brought us back to our roots, back to Colorado and the great city of Denver. Along the way, we indulged our passion for coffee by moonlighting as baristas and roasters, and this made our next project an easy progression — we love our farmer friends + we love our city, the Queen City of the Plains + we love coffee — so we started a company that combines all these things!
Collective coffee means we’re doing this together — we have real, tangible connection with our coffee farmers; we know the conditions of their production; we then small-batch roast their coffee in the city we love and we proudly serve it in Denver’s historic Baker neighborhood. We believe everyone is welcome to this ragtag group because good coffee should build the collective good.
