A coffee gift for Boston
Each box holds a 12 oz bag from a different independent Massachusetts roaster. The roaster roasts it to order and ships it in their own bag, and our packing slip inside names the roaster, their shop, their story and what to taste for.
It suits someone in Boston, or someone who left the city and misses it. Boston has roasters of its own, from Gracenote's cafe on Lincoln Street to Recreo in West Roxbury, and the gift adds the ones further out.

Roasters named here are local favorites we list. A listing does not mean a roaster is part of the club, and no roaster pays to be listed.
The boxes come from roasters across Massachusetts, chosen by us, and we do not promise any particular roaster, from Boston or anywhere else. For Boston itself, see our page on Boston's coffee roasters.
