About Us

Kawa Roasters (pronounced Kava) takes its name from the Polish word for coffee—a tribute to my Polish and Lithuanian heritage and a nod to the traditions that shaped me. This roastery is deeply personal, rooted in both culture and purpose.

We are a true micro-roaster, roasting no more than 3 pounds at a time. Unlike small-batch roasters or large commercial operations, our scale allows us to craft each roast with extraordinary precision. This hands-on approach ensures every bag of coffee you receive is as fresh and flavorful as possible, with unique profiles that reflect the origin and character of each bean.

Our journey began in 2022. What started as a hobby—home roasting for my coffee-loving family—quickly grew into a passion. I was amazed to discover how different beans from around the world could express such diverse flavors, influenced by everything from soil and weather to elevation and harvest methods. Roasting became more than a craft; it became a way to explore and share that magic.

But there's more to Kawa’s story.

Roasting coffee became a lifeline for me during my recovery from substance abuse. It’s not easy to talk about, but it’s an essential part of why Kawa exists. With the support of my family and my faith, I found strength in the discipline, creativity, and purpose that coffee roasting offered. It gave me a second chance—and I’m committed to using it well.

That’s why Kawa Roasters also exists to give back. A portion of our profits will be donated to organizations helping individuals recover from addiction. We believe in supporting others the way we’ve been supported. Our hope is that one day, addiction will be a conversation of the past—but we know that takes community, compassion, and action.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. When you buy from Kawa Roasters, you’re not only getting some of the freshest, most carefully roasted coffee available—you’re helping us make a real difference, one cup at a time.

Mission Statement: Kawa Roasters brings honesty and authenticity to consumers and retailers by delivering freshly roasted single source coffee beans.
