OUR STORY
TRADITION HAS IT that coffee was first discovered by monastics in Africa, where the coffee plant is indigenous. A monk once noticed that goats chewing coffee cherries were especially energetic and thought—eat these beans and pray the night through! Rejoicing, he brought some to the abbot, who scoffed and threw them into the fire, inadvertently inventing the first roast. What a heavenly smell! Maybe these beans aren’t so bad, after all… The rest is history.
THE STORY OF COFFEE CONTINUES at St. Nina's Monastery in Union Bridge, Maryland, where we Sisters hand-roast our coffee in small batches, praying with our minds while we work with our hands. With love, care, and prayer, we bring out the best in the beans, allowing all to savor the taste and aroma of the world's finest coffees.

OUR COFFEES
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe
ETHIOPIA HAS AN ANCIENT TRADITION of coffee, and thus it’s no surprise that Ethiopian coffee, and in particular coffee grown in the Yirgacheffe region, became almost synonymous with specialty coffee in the United States. It's smooth and sweet and easy to drink without being watery. St. Nina's signature medium roast brings out the best in this responsibly-sourced Yirgacheffe, allowing you to savor all the special qualities which make this region's coffee unique. Enjoy it every day.

Ugandan Bukonzo
THIS COFFEE IS SO SINGLE-ORIGIN that it can be traced all the way back to the Nayabirongo washing station in the Rwenzori region of Uganda. It's part of a cooperative in which the majority of farmers are women working together to improve the lives of their families, their children, and their community—by producing wonderful coffee. We chose this cooperative of largely women farmers because studies show that empowering women in developing societies with a steady income causes all socioeconomic indicators to rise. So it's a great coffee you can feel good about.
