SMALL-BATCH COFFEE FROM TEXAS

ROASTED TO ORDER. NEVER ORDINARY.

ORGANIC • SPECIALTY GRADE • SMALL BATCH • ROASTED TO ORDER

Built Different. Roasted Better.

Bootleggers Coffee is built around the coffee itself. Our beans are roasted to order for freshness and never covered up with artificial flavors.
Our single-origin coffees showcase the character of where they’re grown, while every roast is developed to bring out what belongs in the cup—not hide it.

ROASTED TO ORDER • SHIPS IN 2–3 BUSINESS DAYS • WHOLE BEAN OR GROUND • NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS •

SPECIALTY-GRADE GREEN COFFEE

We begin with carefully selected green coffee chosen for its quality, character, and ability to complement the barrel.

A FRESHLY EMPTIED SPIRIT BARREL

The green coffee is loaded into a freshly emptied spirit barrel, where it begins drawing character and aroma from the oak and the spirit that previously occupied it.

AGED FOR FLAVOR

The green coffee ages inside the barrel, absorbing layers of oak, vanilla, caramel, and the distinctive character left behind by the spirit.

SHOP BARREL AGED COFFEE

SMALL-BATCH ROASTED

After aging, the green coffee is removed from the barrel and roasted in small batches to develop its smooth, balanced flavor while preserving the character gained from the oak and spirit.
