Family Run Business to Female Led Division
Our father started Summit Coffee Company in our basement almost 30 years ago. We grew up with the wonderful smell of coffee permeating our home. Coffee has always been a big part of our lives and so we decided to immerse ourselves into coffee and start learning the nuances of roasting from our dad. We are so lucky to be able to work together as a family! Summit Sisters Coffee is a division of Summit Coffee Company ran by us. Our passion in life has always been caring for others and we want our customers to experience the care and passion that we put into each bag of coffee. Building relationships and providing support is very important to us and we have seen how coffee just brings people together. Also, by supporting a female run division consumers can help make the coffee industry more equitable and accessible for women.
Our Process
Micro Batch
By keeping coffee roast batches smaller, we can keep a closer eye on every batch, ensuring that it is roasted to perfection.
This level of control means a more artisanal level of quality in every batch. Large companies buy in bulk which means that their coffee will often sit for weeks to months at a time before you are able to consume the coffee. The longer a coffee sits it will loose its aroma and intricate flavor profile while becoming stale. Our coffee turnaround time will be just a few days at the most ensuring the most freshly roasted coffee experience.
Air Roasted
Air roasting uses precision temperature control and air flow to provide you with the clearest cup of coffee. Unlike traditional roasting methods, the air shoots the bean shaft out of the roaster and this process creates a smooth, perfectly balanced cup of coffee. A clear cup of coffee allows for the complex flavors to shine through the whole cup.
Drum Roasted
Drum roasting uses a process of heating a large drum to spin the coffee around and round to distribute the heat to each bean. It uses both air and gas to help roast the coffee to perfection. Drum roasting produces a full body cup of coffee.
Nashville Local
Summit Coffee Company was one of the very first roasting companies in the Nashville area. The company sells wholesale coffee to several local hospitals, college campuses, and local coffee shops. Summit Sisters Coffee's goal is to bring the same freshly roasted specialty coffee straight to the consumer to be enjoyed at home.
