Namesake Coffee
Ethically sourced coffee that gives back to the community.
Drink Intentionally
Costa Rica - Las Lajas Micromill - Microlot
Tasting Notes: Sugary sweetness and mouthfeel with winey fruit acidity; dried fruit, berry, dark chocolate, and toffee flavors.
About this coffee: Las Lajas is run by Oscar and Francisca Chacon. They were among the very first farmers in Costa Rica to produce Honey and Natural processed coffees. Since 2005 they have been experimenting with different processing methods including anaerobic fermentation and modulating their drying times to create different flavors in the cup. Every coffee that comes from their farm is extremely unique because of the care and intention that they put into their production.

Namesake Coffee - A micro roastery
We care deeply about a quality cup o' joe. We think coffee should be an experience of flavors, aroma, comfort - it should entice creativity, inspire momentum, engage memories, and encourage connection. Yes, we wax eloquent; it is only because we are passionate. We wish for you good conversations, and we hope our roast will someday grace your coffee cup.

About Namesake Coffee
Our Core Beliefs:
- We believe in quality over quantity; Small-batch roasting is a must. We roast on a 6 lb San Franciscan and she is an absolute beauty.
- We believe in only selling whole beans. This is not simply to be pretentious, but is a conscious effort to encourage grinding your beans fresh each morning which will give you the best flavor and a seriously great cup of coffee.
- We believe that fresh is best, which is why we always list a roast date on our bags.
- We believe good coffee is for everyone and no question is stupid. Whether you're a daily K-cupper or an exclusive cortado aficionado, we want to be a part of a growing community of coffee lovers. So ask your questions and let's talk about great coffee.
- We believe coffee should inspire connection. We hope this cup of coffee is more than simply your daily caffeine fix, our wish is that our coffee somehow inspires conversation or introspection.
- We believe a cup of coffee should go further, which is why we partner with a number of non-profits by donating proceeds to build up our community and to make a difference in this world. Our coffee builds orphanages in Uganda (Weight of Glory) and feeds refugees in Dayton.
Namesake Origins
"We are enamored with all things coffee, artisan coffee & hand-pour enthusiasts. We are Dayton dwellers, mountain dreamers, Egyptian lovers. We are Jessica and Michael Beans of Namesake Coffee." #Beansroastingbeans
Jessica and Michael Beans met while living in Cairo, Egypt (an adorable story for another time). And you know how the saying goes... First comes love ...then comes marriage...then comes starting a coffee roasting company.
After moving from Denver, CO to Dayton, OH, the Beans decided to pursue their love of great coffee by starting a small-batch coffee roasting company and on March 15, 2016, Namesake Coffee Roasters, LLC. was born. Read more here.
Michael and Jessica are passionate about creating a company that promotes goodness within our world. This is why they chose to give a portion of their proceeds to nonprofits throughout their area. Coffee has and always will be about connection, so they use their company to connect with their local community.
