ABOUT ST. NINA’S MONASTERY
THE SACRED MONASTERY OF SAINT NINA is a monastic community of Orthodox Christian nuns of the Patriarchate of Georgia located near Union Bridge, Maryland not far from our country’s capital. We’re multi-ethnic and pan-Orthodox, celebrating services in English, Georgian, Greek, Arabic, Slavonic, German and welcoming pilgrims from across the country and around the world.
Our life is totally dedicated to God and our neighbor: we work, we pray, we receive pilgrims and guests. Each one of us left the world in search of something—of Someone—real and living... God, and in Him each unique person we encounter along the way, whether it be another Sister, a pilgrim, or someone who likes our coffee.
Our own practice of monastic hospitality (of which coffee is an essential element), our connections to Orthodox nuns in a coffee-growing region of Uganda, and the compatibility of coffee roasting with our community life led us to try our hand at roasting African beans. Success! It was so good we wanted to share it. First with our pilgrims and friends. And then with the wider world.
Each bag of St. Nina’s Coffee is hand-roasted by the Sisters of St. Nina’s Monastery in small batches using only the highest-quality fair trade, organic beans. And we do it the way we do everything else—for Christ. With love, care, and prayer.
Every purchase of our coffee is a real help to one of the newest and youngest Orthodox monastic communities in America. With God’s blessing and the help of many good people, we are turning a historic estate of more than 130 acres into a spiritual home and haven for all. Our goal is to become self-sustaining, living like the Apostles by the work of our hands.
Enjoy St. Nina’s Coffee—and let us know how you like it!
